I finished my Star Blossoms quilt top last weekend but the weather has been so crappy I haven’t been able to get a photo till today.
Many of my blocks were too small, I feel if I’d starched my fabric prior to cutting, it would have turned out much better. But I still love this quilt. Not being perfect makes it more human. 😀
The pattern is by Cottonway and I used Lauren & Jessi Jung’s Flora. I’m waiting on more fabric to make more stars for my Modern Mable quilt and I started another quilt using Oh Deer by MoMo. Photos to come once I actually have a block or two done. Right now I’m in the process of sewing strips.
Linking up with Freshly Pieced and The Needle and Thread Network.
The Star Blossoms quilt top looks perfect to me!
Thanks Brenda! You know what it’s like, you always notice your own mistakes but no one else does! ;D
This is so fresh and so pretty. The colors are not ones I’d pick, but I’m going to soon – they look so GOOD!
Thank you so much Liz, this is the same fabric line I used for my Parcheesie quilt (https://bendingpins.com/2012/09/19/parcheesie-sashed/), Flora by Lauren + Jessi Jung.
Very pretty quilt , such lovely fresh colours !
Thank you so much Sheila!
Star blossoms is lovely!
Thank you Elle and thanks for taking the time to visit my blog!
I think it’s beautiful and it looks PERFECT! I, too, have always been a big fan of spray starch. It can even be used to hold strips together without pins: lay one strip on ironing bd right side up, spray well, lay other strip on top, right side up. Press well. Take it to the machine and sew. No pins required!
That didn’t turn out quite right. I meant, “lay the other strip on top, wrong side up.” etc. etc.
Great tip Andrea, if I get a chance to sew today, I’ll try it!
Great pattern, wonderful colours. I use a lot of starch when quilting (2 Tsp cornstrach in 4 cups of water, or to your liking), but it seems to me that you managed quite nicely without!
Hi Regina, I tried making my own starch but it didn’t really work. Did you use hot water? Thanks for taking the time to comment!
That is really lovely, Tabatha! Well done!
Thanks P, I’m getting there slowly… ;D
I love those colours together, Tabatha! Looks pretty perfect from where I’m sitting!
I really love Camille & Lori Jung’s more recent work, can’t wait till their next line comes out!
Is absolutely beautiful!
