Again I'm working out of my stash of yellows and instead of getting smaller it just seems to regenerate when I put it back on the shelf. You can see that I've included birds, bees, flowers and dots. There are a couple of fabrics I think I'll replace. They have yellow backgrounds but it is in a small amount and is reading kinda gray - not what I'm going for.
This quilt will be about 80" square before borders and I'm thinking of adding maybe 3" of background all the way around to float the star. And I realized that this is second quilt in the last 3 weeks I've made that is really just one big sawtooth star. I need to find something for the background of this quilt - maybe something with yellow dots or another white-on-white. I'd like to use something I already own and make this a "free" quilt. I do LOVE sawtooth stars! This is my version of doing a "series" - but I don't think two quilts really makes a "series" does it? Oh well, maybe I'll do another big sawtooth star quilt and then I can legitimately call it a series- my my my I'm getting artsy fartsy here. LOL!
The weather has been so nice. I spent some time stitching out on the screen porch Saturday and Sunday and I hope to find time again today.
Happy stitching-
carol fun
