Star Quilt ?

[tattooedchickenlady]

I have one that my ex-husbands Granny made many, many moons ago. I always loved it, and when we split, he didn't ask for it back.....She did it all by hand, and it needs a little repair work, but I'm no quilter.
Good luck with it though, you'll love it.

O.K. let me kow what you think so far. I have added 3 more rows, since this pic was taken, around the outside and I am now sewing the pieces into sections.................here's wha tI have cut and laid out...........................

Never thought it would be so teadious. I wound up having to cut out each diamond shape

I love these colors

Pretty color combination-very spring-like!

Very pretty.

You can strip cut those diamonds. I have seen the pattern somewhere. Maybe Quilter's Cache.

Thanks SH and MP.......it looks small but I had to stand in a chair so I could get teh whole thing in the pic. So it is much bigger

I sure hope it turns out right. I will take a pic tomorrow of the progress of today. I actually spent about 4 hours just cutting out the diamonds. This quilt will be the one that goes on our bed. I also want to make matching pillow shams. A valance would be great but we will cross that bridge when we get there

Isn't it a little sad when folks think a quilt it too good or to pretty to use. I thought that for a while myself, but my kids were given quilts with their names on them a little over a year ago - and I didn't want to put them on the kids beds and then I thought about it for a while and put em on. They'll get worn, perhaps stained, but the kids will love them, and with luck take their quilts when they leave to get married or whatever.
