Here’s the latest installment of the Star Quilt Saga:
Last week I went fabric shopping specifically for neutrals. I actually came out with exactly that … a bag full of neutral fabric … well, except for that one bright orange batik. I couldn’t resist.
Some of the neutrals are already in the quilt top: 2nd row from the top on the outsides of the gold/pink star and the yellow star on the ends.
My DH commented about this being a “normal” quilt. … Not that it’s “abnormal” (I checked to make sure), just that it looks like a quilt rather than the artistic-painted-beaded wall hangings I usually make. I actually like that comment, it made me laugh and it shows that he really does pay attention to what I’m doing with all that fabric.
Till next time. …
I love how this is progressing, and hope you continue to post pics of it as it develops even more. I totally "get it" just by looking at it, why you would enjoy working on this even though it's not like the quilts you usually do. The colors are great and it's both elegant and whimsical at the same time. A true beauty.
That's hilarious about buying all neutrals, but then having to buy one bright orange batik! I can so relate!
