Patriotic Stars
 |
| November 2017 |
These blocks have quite a history:
• Marilyn gave me the panel in 2015 (post about that here), and I had every intention of using it before now.
• In 2016, I finished two Quilts of Valor (Scrappy Lanterns and Cheerio), and they resulted in a lot of "waste" HSTs.
• November 2017, the two components were discovered while cleaning, and I decided it was time to create some star blocks. I made fifteen patriotic stars from the HSTs and the panel blocks.
Marilyn, thanks again for the fabric and panel.
Another great idea!! I love the way these look. Of course stars are my favorite kind of block.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I especially like the eagle and shield block.

I love how patriotic you are! When I was in America for the first time I fell in love with Red, White and Blue quilts. I have some rows made by friends from the patriotic fabrics I bought back. I really must get around to stitching them together. They have been maturing in a cool dark place for about ten years.
ReplyDeleteThey need to see the light of day.
So lovely-what a nice job you are doing churning out these quilts! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThose stars look great. And doesn't it feel good to put older scraps with a forgotten panel to create a quilt? It should be lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat is going to work up really nicely:)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
