They are from a friend whose eyes are getting worse and she has difficulty seeing well enough to enjoy piecing any more. She was looking for a home for them and I loved the colors and the star pattern, so I am going to finish this quilt for a donation or perhaps me! lol It might be the closest I'll ever come to having someone make me a quilt. I guess when you are a quilter most people never think of making the quilter a quilt. She ran out of the 2 original background fabrics, so substituted to get 12 blocks. The background fabrics are homespun in a heather pattern. Anyone have any extra of these homespuns hiding in their stash??
Now to find suitable sashing and maybe cornerstones, plus a border or two and I'll be on my way to getting this finished..

ReplyDeleteWhy don't you finish your friend's quilt and give it back to her? I think she'd be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful blocks.
ReplyDeleteWow - aren't you the lucky girl!!! I agree, no one thinks to make us a quilt, but I think I'll probably make myself enough to make up for it - after I have made one or two for everyone else of course :*) You should enjoy working on these blocks - I love the colors and the design really attracts attention!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty blocks. It is nice to put together other people's blocks--sort of a like a free swap :) I know what you mean about quilters never getting quilts made for them...
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful blocks and nicely pieced. Lucky you!
