As I'm working on an improv quilt, I keep asking myself the question "what could I add to make me like this quilt more"? The answer that came to me working on my scrap challenge quilt was... throw in a few friendship stars. Perfect for a "sister's scrap challenge" project since we are all quilting sisters!
I picked my favourite piece from the scrap pile which was a batik binding and I made it into 6" friendship star blocks. I was 1 HST short, so I used that opportunity to add one of the three selvages that I was given. See it on the bottom right?
I decided to sew the stars together with the improv crumb pieced blocks and it looked good in a 12" block.
So that's another decision made as this will be the design unit.
What next?
great idea to make the friendship stars and the block looks really good.
ReplyDeleteI like the friendship stars in blue! Pretty!
