"I am not a fabric hoarder. I am the curator of an extensive textile collection.." - All People Quilt
So what does a quilter do when there's a crisis? Quilt. Of course. Luckily I have my stash of fabric. Spencer helped with the first one. It's called Rolling Star......They went rolling down the hill .

I 'm planning on making a couple of quilts. Using gold fabric in gold pointed stars , like this. The next quilt will be Civil War Vintage.

Quilting is good for planning, organizing, executing with the grey matter. Keeps the focus.
And then there's the sari ( my fav)fabric blocks. Made from veils.....and trim, and a lot of bling.
Comet Star
And always the gold pointed stars. I got a bolt of the stuff a couple of years ago. On sale. Saved it till now. It will be in almost every block. Not every, most most....

Then there's one of my fav star point patterns: Star in a Star. Close to the Trinity Star. Looks good in any fabric....
The sari blocks I will intersperse between the regular blocks.

And here is the Trinity Block. My fav upon fav. Two inner stars pulsating out to the rim. I plan on doing more of these in gold. These were my trials. 16 inch Stars............

My fav website to skulk through for patterns is patchworksquare.com. Lady who designs it is phenomenal at organizing each pattern in simple, easy forms, always precise, always wonderful. And she is accessible for questions and comments! Lovely person.

This is wonderful Michelle you are so talented and when I first saw the squares lined up on the grass or lawn? it reminded me of seeing all the beautiful material batik I think is the name drying in the sun in Malaysia. You are doing this in your very own home, well done!!!
ReplyDeleteRalph's mother quilted with other neighborhood ladies. All the family had quilts, including the dolls. Great memories. They always used the Rolling Star pattern in many different color combinations.
