Mum got me a stack of Jenny Bayer charm squares a few years ago, and they have been auditioned for several designs, and rejected, but I have finally settled on a design I'm happy with. I made cream star sections, and randomly stitched them into threes with the charm squares, then left them until mum came at the weekend - so we could speed date them
I'm really pleased with the final arrangement - and am just looking for the time to stitch them together!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Hi Benta! This looks fantatic! I love stars and it's always great to see NEW ways to make and use them. I wish I had one month sewing holidays! x Teje
ReplyDeleteI wish to speed date.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds so exciting amidst the tediousness of joining blocks. I don't even quilt.
Love your stars!
That's lovely. Probably a better result than most speed dating sessions!
ReplyDeleteThese look great. Very nice colour placement :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute and love your fabric combo and your layout .Great job!
ReplyDeletewhat a colourful quilt, must learn how to do the wonky stars far more character in them than a basic one
ReplyDeleteYou do love your wonky stars, don't you Benta! This is yet another lovely version.
ReplyDeleteGlad your mum got to play with the layout after contributing the charms in the first place
ReplyDeletevery colorful. Love it.
