Hi Cuties! Just some 5 point stars in a QOV.


These patchwork blocks started out to go around a panel. I didn’t like them so I didn’t want to waste them so I thought of alternating the patchwork with embroidered stars on a background square. Not the prettiest quilt I’ve made but at least it’s not wasted. Size is 65x85 inches. Second picture was an audition around the panel, I did not like.

I love your process, Toogie, of layout, audition. I love each of your quilts--you are the quilt master! Oh, I know all about mood and sewing or embroidery. I am hoping to get back to anything soon.

Thank you, hope you’re feeling better soon. I finally got Sharon’s pattern right and ran out of fabric- check it out in Community/Sewing.

I understand exactly how you feel, when you need to be in the mood. Sometimes I have to make myself finish bus trip gifts, for my niece. I’m not always in the mood to make something I have made over and over.

Well done Toogie, it is stunning as are all your QOV quilts.

I'm in the middle of cutting out a colourwash heart shaped lap quilt for Mum's 90th in January. Stinking hot here today, so the air conditioner is working well. Love Chris

I get so hot quilting even with the AC on. I guess bc I’m half way wrapped in it to quilt-lol
I want to see ‘Mum’s’ quilt when you’re finished. My 95 year old brother in law went into a nursing home a couple months ago. He was getting dementia and couldn’t live alone anymore, but is adjusting well now.

Great quilt top. I like the chain designs, they are quick to make and always look good.

Your top looks beautiful in its simplicity, as far as making a quilt could ever be simple. I love the colours you used.
I bet you'll soon figure out how to use the panel.
Love, Martine

Toogie - I really do like what you did with your squares. Good luck with the panel. I am sure you will do something fantastic with it.
