Teal Stars

On the long list of projects for 2025, numbers 6, 7 & 8 were to make quilts for granddaughter Joanna. She's a teal girl and I have started the first quilt. For lack of a better name, I'm calling it Teal Stars.


I made the first star just to see what it was going to look like. Now I need to sew three more stars. They're ready to sew, hopefully next week I'll be able to show you all four stars or maybe, perhaps, the finished center section of the quilt.

Teal is one color I don't have very much of in my stash so I went to Calico Point and bought some. I did have one fabric from my stash, the dark outside diamond. I made sure the new fabrics played well with that fabric.

  1. That's a beautiful start to your quilt. Is that a Lone Star?

  2. It's a small one, there will be 4 stars in the center. I can picture it in my mind, hopefully it will look like what I'm envisioning when I'm finished.

  12. Lone Star quilts, or in your case blocks, have always been a favorite of mine. It looks great made up in the teal fabrics.

  19. Ooh, pretty, and I like the name just fine. I think I’ve always given quilts kind of obvious names.
