Sixteen Patch Star
It's a finish!
40 x 60
In 2023 someone gave me a large bag full of 3 inch squares. For this quilt I pulled out the wild and novelty fabric squares.
I started making 16 Patch Stars. All of the Stars have white centers and points. I made several Stars then waited to come across more scraps for more Stars. Finally in 2024 I had enough Stars to make a top.
I quilted it on my sewing machine with vertical lines on each side of the vertical seams.
The binding is a diagonal stripe. I had to piece together several smaller pieces of that backing fabric.
And sew on...

This is the view from my couch of the first of seven Amaryllis to bloom. Gosh, it has two stalks with four flowers. It got top heavy and the plastic pot that came with it was too light weight to hold up the stalks and flowers so I put it on the floor inside a larger terracotta pot.

wonderful quilt and the amaryllis and so pretty. I had to do that more than once put the plastic pot inside a taller heavier pot so it would stay up right - my red one has 2 stalks and 6 flowers right now - I'm keeping on eye on it so it doesn't tip
Fun quilt! Happy Friday to you :-)
Fabulous scrappy fun quilt that will be loved.
