Purple Ohio Stars for RSC!

I'm still piecing Ohio stars for the RSC but since I started piecing these blocks over a year ago, some of the colors have already been made, like blue. The only color I haven't pieced is purple. After reading Cynthia's blog about this month's RSC color, I decided to make purple Ohio stars for July.

These stars are made in civil war fabrics so they're not the bright colors most of you are using. I had originally started making the Ohio stars when I had decided to make Ancient Stars, a Sue Garman pattern.




These stars finish at 4 1/2" so they're small.

I like Sue's quilt but I've have decided I want to make my own quilt in my own style. The purple stars are the last group of Ohio stars to be pieced. Now I'll concentrate on the center medallion.

    Such tiny little stars, so beautiful. Will be lovely to see them all together, when you piece the medallion.

    I didn't realize how tiny those were! I can't wait to see your medallion for this quilt.

    I love civil war repro fabrics. These little stars are a perfect use of those fabrics. Good idea to do your own thing.

    Some of those purple stars appear to be Dark BLUE on my screen. I think the important part is that you are USING your scraps!
