WOW. I love a star quilt and this one from Pennsylvania is a standout. Made in the late 1800's each block is 2 3/4" with a whopping total of 600 stars...
Love the turkey red, cheddar and the acidic yellow colors which unify all the other prints...
Am equally in love with the half square triangle and shirting border. Enjoy!
Such a simple border but it frames the quilt beautifully. I'm going to put that idea in my back pocket for future reference!
ReplyDeleteYes it calms the whole top down. Super effective!
Deletei love it!!
ReplyDeleteAren't your little stars close to being this small?
DeleteWow! That's a lotta little stars. Great effect overall.
ReplyDeleteYes it really does twinkle- would love to make this but with a lack of discipline it would end up a placemat :(
DeleteWonderful quilt. a good plan for all those tiny scraps. Was it quilted?
ReplyDeleteIt is quilted in a large overall cross hatch pattern. Nothing too elaborate but after piecing this you can see why:)
