Thank you for all the lovely comments on my star blocks! It is time for a little update on my last post. The stars are put together on a dark blue (Kona Nightfall), that changes color when photographed in different angle and light.
The blocks were cut down askew from 6.5" to 5.5". Ending up 5" in the finished top. This way they are twinkling a bit more. Some of the star points were cut off in the process, too.
I added three more rows, aiming for a 50" by 75" size lap:
Now to ponder quilting it myself or sending it out. So many options, such hard choices to be made...
; )
I will probably have to sleep on it!
Hope november is treating you all ok. It's getting cold around here. I am glad I have a pile of quilts to keep me warm!
Fantastic, Marit !

ReplyDeleteStunning!
ReplyDeleteFantastic with the twinkling stars on the dark blue sky.
ReplyDeleteAlmost like the Swedish song Blinka lilla stjärna, Twinkle little star. I was so inspired, and I don´t love blue.
Thanks for sharing
Really love it, it's so original.
ReplyDeleteOh Marit, another love affair with stars but this time at night. Again, you've created an ethereal piece!
ReplyDeleteMy jealousy is overwhelming! Will you send me just a smidge of your creativity?! ☺
So peaceful looking.... Maybe meandering with random star quilted in dark blue thread on the Nightfall, with fussier quilting on stars themselves...
ReplyDeleteLove it; what a fabulous, deep blue for your sky!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! The stars really do twinkle.

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this quilt top! Although I am rather addicted to light colours and a lot of white I think this top is just gorgeous! The stars with the lightblue "background" really seem to glimmer and shine on a dark velvet sky at night. Great effect!
