I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.

Moving right along ...
I'm making progress. See the two fabrics on on the right? The lighter one is for the side triangles and corner squares, then there will be a 2 inch dog tooth row, then the darker eggplant color. All of the diamonds are done, and most of the 8 diamonds are together, with a few of the large segments also together. Some of the paper is even gone!
I like it!
(But I DON'T like that carpeting! It looks worse than it really is! LOL)
Our quilt guild challenge in July is "Diamonds" but unfortunately, this is too large for the category! That's OK, I'm having fun. So much fun that I've already picked out the next project from Karen Stone.

It looks amazing. I can't wait to see it quilted.
ReplyDeleteI just love that pattern. The two other fabrics look just right with the star.
ReplyDeleteThat top is so spectacular I didn't notice the carpeting at all - I had to go back to take a look when I read your comment LOL! I love the other fabrics you've chosen to go along with what you've done so far.
ReplyDeleteWow, that top positively sparkles. The setting fabrics will show the star off to perfection.
ReplyDeleteThis is a amazing star. All those tiny peaces put together. WOW. Quite a job. Looking forward to see the further progress on it.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! You really have made good progress with it.
ReplyDeleteCheers!

That top is so vibrant! It looks like it can just jump right off my screen.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering what you were doing. Now I know. This will be a fabulous quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous star!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!
ReplyDeleteElaine,
ReplyDeleteNow that you have the star pieced together and the setting blocks and borders identified, the quilt is another winner. I saw another example at Lori's in the Bluffs that was too busy for me to enjoy. I think yours will be stunning!
Lots of sewing in this quilt! It looks fabulous--great color choices.
ReplyDeletePaper pieces has always fasinated me, someday will be brave enough to try it. Your sewing shows such adventure into new ideas. enjoy it so much, keep up the positive attitude.
ReplyDeleteWow, this star sure has movement! Can hardly wait to see what you do next with it.
