Piecing 12" finished blocks go fast. Here are the last six blocks for my blue Stars Around the Garden.
While I was piecing the last several blocks, I kept looking at all the blocks on the display wall. Not all the fabrics pulled together like I had hoped but they were nice enough except for that block on the top left row. That just didn't make me happy. I want the fabric around the center to highlight the center. That fabric just make it look blurry, so I redid that block!
Once the cutting table is cleaned off, I can get to the sashing. I'm going to add yellow corner stones which the pattern doesn't call for. I need to finish the center applique medallion first though.

All of these florals make my heart sing. And I love the last picture of your cutting table!!
ReplyDeleteI love how this quilt top is coming together Gretchen! Have a happy stitching day when you can :) Kathi
ReplyDeleteHi Gretchen! Oh, the addition of the yellow cornerstones will just be the perfect addition, I think. It will pull out those bits of yellow among the sea of blues. I also love the variety and depth of blue fabrics that you've used. Is this a quilt for yourself? I would have a hard time giving it away. Thanks for linking up this week! ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteI have plenty of quilts for our bed and the grands have plenty of quilts too. I'm actually planning on donating the finished quilt to the 2021 Michiana Mennonite Relief Sale. I have a year to get it completed and hand quilted. If I don't get the quilting finished in time, it will go to the 2022 relief sale. In past years I've donated wallhangings, this will be the first large quilt. That's the plan anyway.
DeleteYour Stars are all so lovely--I especially favor the bird-centered one with those soft blue misty roses.
ReplyDeleteNice work hugs, Julierose
Very pretty and a lot of work! Love your color combinations! Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! Love the colors/fabrics too.
ReplyDeleteYour stars look beautiful in the blue. The centre applique block is lovely too - it's going to be a gorgeous quilt.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful stars - I love blues and yellows together! Looking forward to seeing everything come together.
ReplyDeleteYour star blocks are so pretty, Gretchen! I especially love how you fussy cut the little birdie and put him in the center!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks - I love the combo of Blue and yellow!! so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThese blocks are breathtaking in their beauty. There is something classic about these blues.
ReplyDeleteAll the blocks are so striking and I agree with the changed block! This one is going to be so pretty - Hugs
ReplyDeleteYour stars are so beautiful and crisp, and the fussy cuts are worth the effort to draw the eye to the centre of each block. Thanks for sharing at Clever Chameleon.
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely blocks. They're going to make an even more lovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I would have redone that block but it really improves things so good for you! Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Wait Loss.
