String Stars
48.5 x 65
It's a top!
It is already 39 degrees this morning so I popped out for a bit to take a photo of the top on the clothesline but it is pretty windy so the top just wanted to dance in the wind. That left me with a few blurry shots.
Previously I used the same tutorial and templates to make a String Star quilt inspired by a vintage quilt.
"Strings and Things" has been the theme in my sewing space this month to move UFOs and scraps forward. I started making these string stars last year.
I have a page at the top of my blog with some other quilts I've made from strings if you are interested. I probably have made more than that but don't always remember to add them to the page as I make them.
And sew on...

Finished a book! Cold Threat -- Ellie Kline Series: Book Three by Mary Stone and Donna Berdel. It is a psychological series thriller -the third in the series of fourteen. Ellie Kline is a Charleston PD detective who investigates cold cases. She is the victim of one of those cold cases. And now after all these years the evil "master" has been identified but he got away so he can keep the series of books going.
beautiful quilt and your book review is hysterical...."he got away so he can keep the series going"!!

Your sashing choice is so perfect for the stars quilt.
ReplyDeleteIs the sashing all from the same piece? I like the variegation which sets off the stars nicely. Thanks for the book review.
ReplyDeleteYou just have the knack of picking the best background fabrics for your blocks to "sing"; lovely work on this one Cathy;))) Hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy, happy quilt! That sashing is perfect. Love it!
ReplyDeleteYour choice of sashing, both the battery and fabric, are perfect for your stars!
ReplyDeleteYour String Stars quilt is so beautifully cheery; it really makes me smile! Your sashing/border fabric is absolutely perfect, and I love the blue background for the stars.
ReplyDeleteFrom reading the comments so far, I think we all agree that you have a knack for color and the sashing was perfect. I think we might all want to know what the sashing material looked like. Did you actually put a sliver of black in between each square or was the black in the fabric?
ReplyDeleteLike everyone else, I love this quilt for the string stars, cobalt blue background, variegated sashing fabric and those 9-patch cornerstones. This one is truly a winner!
