All my wonderful friends helped make my Constellation quilt the stunner that it is, (Alison, I'll tell you about it some day!), and since then I have gone on to make more and more of Katy Jones's inspired stars.
The latest is for Susan's Brit Bee 2 month, asking for a star or stars on a charcoal background, it was a no-brainer for me.
So here is the latest, and sorry Susan I have kept you hanging all day to see this, but I have been finishing off a pair of 'thank yous', so actually you could just blame yourself (or Trudi!).
Susan added a second solid to all the fabric packs she sent out, which was perfect for the secondary star...
It will measure in at 24" and I used Madam Pings' super-duper, quick and easy trim-tastic method of getting those HSTs all nice and squared. If you haven't seen Sarah's post over at Rhonda's, have a look!! Honestly it works, and with the added luxury of a new rotary blade, (why oh why do I struggle on with a blunt one for so long, every time!?), this was effortless!
I hope you like it my friend - it will be winging its way to you with a load of other things very very soon, well Saturday, probably!
Spenderific star!! No-one does them as well as you!
ReplyDeleteOh, this one glows! Susan is going to have an amazing quilt!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! And you struggle with a dull blade because you're like me - delusional about how far you can eke out a blade safely and save your pennies for more fabric.
ReplyDeleteAs my girls would say when they were younger - I don't like it...
ReplyDelete... I love it!!!!!!!! Thank you so much Hadley!!
Oh go on Hadley...you know you want to ;-)
ReplyDelete24" holy crap, that's not a star, it's an entire galaxy! (very pretty ones, at that!).
ReplyDeleteYou are one talented lady!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, I should think you can do,them in your sleep! Glad to,see I'm to blame, it's ok, I can take it! And who'd have thought, I've been squaringd trimming, but not like that! Doh!
ReplyDeleteIt's pinky perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning! Lovely seeing it in a different colourway - it's so very Susie! Jxo
ReplyDeleteI love it! I am sure Susan will too. And I need a new blade too, I will look for the extras and change mine tonight.
ReplyDeleteYour one lucky lady Susan, especially since Hadley is such a whiz with stars.
ReplyDeleteThis block is so magnificent. The charcoal border makes it pop and I'm glad you pointed out the secondary star, I didn't see it at first because I was so caught up with the overall effect of the block. Absolutely lovely!
ReplyDeleteAren't you a star!
ReplyDeleteGreat colour choice - great star - I so love pink!
ReplyDeleteIts worked really well with the secondary star too :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great star - these are my favourite colours and you have put them together so well :)
