Selvage Star
12 inches finished
Inspired by Sally's String Stars and a String Star tutorial at Coriander Quilts I decided to use small pieces of selvages to try to make one. Since it is easier to make than I thought I will continue on and add this to my list of selvage quilts I'll work on next year. I think I'll alternate red and yellow backgrounds.
With those alternating backgrounds, it's going to be a really cheery quilt! Selvage on!
ReplyDeleteYay! I definitely want to do more string stars...but will make smaller string diamonds next time.
ReplyDeleteI’d never seen that string star tutorial, so thank you for the link. I may join you and Sally on the String Star journey!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to make a string LeMoyne Star quilt. I'll be watching this will great interest.
ReplyDeleteRed and yellow backgrounds sound perfect.
ReplyDeleteI really like the red background and I love doing strings, but I haven't found a good red that doesn't run even in cold water. Thanks for the link. I might do something with this.
ReplyDeleteYour selvages lend themselves to this treatment really well.
