Christmas Stars Quilt done - pic

16 years ago

Well, the top is done anyway. I was in both groups so this is the first quilt. I used my own fabric for the sashing and used the strips as the border. Some of the blocks had names on them, but not all, so if you see your block and want to let me know that would be great. There are some from both groups so yours might be here. I got some duplicates so you may also have a block in Quilt 2.

Here is a pic of a star memory quilt I did for a commission. I used the autograph star. I printed out the pictures then bordered them in black to get then the size I needed for the center square. Amy

Nicely done and a wonder use for the jelly roll. It always surprised me that you can make something with them the look so innocent. I also like that pattern and your blog. TFS. Jayne

Once something starts bugging you it is hard to "just let it go" -- I got REAL GOOD and taking things apart when I did my kaleidoscope quilt. (Even literally put darts in a couple blocks to get it to match right!) I noticed you have the four corners of blocks in the center perfectly matched -- the little muslin squares. I would let that intersection go as far askew as I needed to to get the black parts lined up. Since the muslin is roughly the same color it's really "one square" in the center -- IMO, matching it's points is not important. Where as the black/white intersections jump out at you. I would get those black squares matched up and sewn together. (Taking at least the one in like I suggested above) THEN, if I had a significant difference in size between the top and bottom muslin pieces in the center, I'd take the one that is larger and tighten its seam up -- Go up higher - maybe right below where the black starts and resew the seam angling inward ever so slightly so that by the time I reach the bottom my seam allowance is more than 1/4 inch -- I've sewn at an angle. Too extreme an angle and it won't lie flat but I think you can get away with enough to take up the slack. And once it's quilted who will know?! Clear as mud?!

Thanks everyone. I had a lot of fun with it. I have another panel that is simular that I have in the thinking stage. Beverly, if you do a search under Avlyn fabrics and then look under construction you may be able to find it, but unfortunatly they don't always last long. Jayne

It seems to me I saw some of those in progress too down in N.C. Very pretty. That 2-color sashing reminds me of attic windows. You did a great job putting it together.

WOW!!! I was in this first group...and I was planning on making a small wall hanging along with placemats from the blocks I received. However, after seeing this beautiful quilt, I may change my mind! What I love best is the gold and red sashing. It's perfect to separate the blocks. You did a wonderful job with the design of this quilt!
