I finished the strippy stars top.
Six years ago at a quilt retreat I made this and had the part on the left of the next photo sewn together. I had the brown floral and two narrow blue strips cut so that I could add another row of stars.
I even had all but three of the star blocks made. But, when I got home from retreat the quilt and parts remained in a pile and I never got back to it. I think I had convinced myself that this would be a twin quilt. In the mean time I used four of the star blocks in a doll quilt.
With Project UFO underway I pulled this out again and decided to go back to the queen size quilt plan. I made seven more blocks and had a look at it. There was one block that seemed to stand out as too pale compared to the others and another that was all too dark. I decided to switch the centers on those blocks and sew it together.
Here it is all finished up. Not a great photo but I was getting eaten by mosquitoes so was in a hurry.
Today I pieced together fabric for a back.
I hope to get it basted together this weekend.
I think I may try to quilt some feathered vines in the plain strips.
