And I've enjoyed playing with all the fabric placements. If you look closely, you may spot what's happening.
The pattern calls for the centre of the star & points to be all in one fabric – but I figured if I did that every time, it would be too intense. The occasional one or three was perfect.
I've also added extra scrappiness to a few of my centre stars (see pic #7), and I've used two backgrounds (see pics #4 & #5) for a couple of the stars - it all creates extra interest.
Plus, there are a few places where I've embraced some joins in my fabric to get the required length (my stash is more FQs than yardage).

Super sunny day here - not complaining - but getting good pics a tad problematical. Have a great weekend, Linda
I think the stars look good with a variety of centers too. It keeps the viewer looking around to take in all of the beauty.
ReplyDeleteI love the scrappiness of your version. And the low volume palette with the stars is very soothing.
ReplyDeletelovely blocks - it must be spring in your area now as we are heading towards early winter
ReplyDeleteThe soft vibe of this quilt is so restful and appealing. A favorite.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. I really like the way the soft and subtle colours in the framing of the blocks makes the stars shine.
ReplyDeleteHow well those half frames work.
ReplyDeleteYes, a super pattern. I’m thinking now, all it needs is some pretty quilting!
