Inspired by the Barn Star Quilt

This quilt top was made with some orphan blocks (previously made), and star blocks that can be found in the book "Barn Star Sampler" by Shelley Cavanna.

I had some blocks that I had made using fabrics from past Kaffe Fassett collections. They were not the same as the original quilt; but they were the correct size to be included on the outline of the original design.

I added more start blocks to be able to make parts B (28 1/2" X 56 1/2"); and C (56 1/2" X 48 1/2"), of the original quilt in the book. 

When I finish the quilting, it will be donated to the Quilt Guild of the Greater Houston to the Comfort Quilts program. This program distribute quilts to the Houston area organizations.

Quiltville Reveal

 

Bonnie Hunter has posted the finished photo of the Old Town Mystery on her site. I have the clues; but not made the quilt. It is a beautiful quilt. I might have to cut the pieces and make it sometime soon.

Good Bye 2024

December 13

Design wall on December 13th. A hodgepodge of blocks for a few different projects. 

I should be making labels for quilts. But this is more of my calling today.

Photo Shoot

The behind the scene of taking a photo of my quilt. No cropping or any other tricks on this one. The displaced exercise equipment where they landed.Thank you my DH for your help. I am a terrible photografer. I couldn't have done without him.
