Ever hear that saying, "I'll sleep on it"? That's because sometimes the mind figures things out during the sleeping process. Mid-sleep I began thinking about my never-ending quilt and thought of exchanging the ecru and putting in red . Went upstairs, pulled out the ecru fabric and with red. Ah ha! That's it.
Interestingly enough when I came downstairs after taking that photo I re-checked my email and had a message from Denise suggesting I repeat the sashing from the center, which was blue and red. Seems my brain was a little slow on the uptake.
Below are the pattern pieces I used to cut the star quilt. To make the star blocks I drew out the star on paper the size I wanted, cut out each of the sections then traced them onto sheets of paper adding 1/4" seam allowance. Did the same for the central large star on a larger piece of paper, which you see to the left of the scissors.
Here are a couple other quilt spreads I've made. This quilt was a pattern except I added two dogs representing my now departed Rottweiler's Shumba and Panzer. There used to be embroidered words, "Home is where the Heart Is" but that got worn/washed off. Also made this Cabin quilt (spread) from a pattern which could be on my book shelf in the sewing room still.
And made this easy winter quilt and as you can see I took the easy way with huge blocks. It was a primitive quilt and think this pattern is still around somewhere too. So guess in my mind I was a self-proclaimed expert at making quilts so though I'd conjure up one, namely the star quilt a/k/a never-ending quilt.
