With a lovely palette request, and free-reign to make any star blocks, I settled on two which floated my proverbial.
Firstly a whole bunch of lovely HSTs picked from the Farmer's Wife book, Star Gardner...
... and a Ribbon Star using Lee-Freshly Pieced's fab tutorial...
I inadvertently missed out using any darker yellow/orange in these blocks, all mine seemed a little too acidic, but I hope they will still make Trina happy.
It feels like a long while since I last had complete choice over bee blocks, and it was a bit of a challenge to stop the search for the ultimate star! So a change is as good as a rest, and this is as near to a rest as I am likely to get for a while!
Now if the postman pulls his finger out, I should have another finish to show you tomorrow xxx
Lovely finish Mrs, I've gotten as far as choosing the fabrics and printing out the patterns, that's almost done right?!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colour palette and fab blocks! Jxo
ReplyDeleteExcellent blocks. Once they are priced with the others they will fit in perfectly. None of the blocks will have all the palette. They will all balance each other out.
ReplyDeleteLooks good to me! That blinking Canadian challenged me to paper piece...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours, and pretty fab blocks too
ReplyDeletelovely blocks so far that I have seen, looks like a fun bee
ReplyDeleteHappy blocks. This will be a fun quilt when put together with lots of different stars.
ReplyDeleteSuper fabric combos. The Ribbon Star is a beaut.
