I have made good progress on my Quilt patis star project this summer. I love that now when I fold it up it looks like it could even be a completed top :0)
Not quite though... I thought I would make it 10 stars wide in this length. Now I'm not sure that will be wide enough. I plan to put a fairly wide border of some kind on it. It maybe a couple more years in the making. Its such a great portable project.
I am the very, very happy winner of
Dawn's giveaway on her blog Collector with a Needle.
I was watching for the book in the mail and then when it arrived the package had all this great fabric inside with it. I was thrilled. The book is very interesting and it has some great quilts in it.
This one is my favorite. I'd never seen a Princess Feather quite like this one before. I love the border on it too - happy and a little bit wonky around the corners. I would love to start a new applique project inspired by this quilt!! But, I will resist the temptation and keep working on the 2 current ones until I have a finished top. Dawn's name appears in the book on the Acknowledgements page. I feel like I've "met" someone famous :0)
Happy Quilting!!
