The tiny feathered star top is done! The partial seam piecing wasn’t too bad and I only had trouble with one seam; the last one of course! I had to do what I always tell my students – only rip out three times. Because of the Fun-dation, it’s all quite square with no wonkiness. I could not have pieced such small half square triangles accurately without it.
It finished up at 10″ and then I added a bit of background around the star so that the points really show. I would have liked to have made the border of arashi shibori, but all the pieces I have are narrow, so I chose this bo maki fabric. There is a big hunk of it and there was plenty of room to fussy cut. I think it works well with the middle. Finished size, 17″.
Ha, I had to look up the bo maki. When I read it, I was going to LIKE it, but found I did way back when you first published it, Deb. At least I’m consistent. Love the colors and effect.
Thank you! I get very “precious” with all the shibori fabrics and it’s silly not to use them…
I love the feathered star block and yours turned out quite nice! Great fabric choices, especially that border.
From one dyer and quilter to another – thank you!
That’s just stunning!! And it happened quickly, too. Will you hand quilt it?
I’m debating, since my machine quilting isn’t great. The problem with hand quilting may be the Fun-dation underneath. I’ll have to see if I can get a needle into it.
Oh–I hadn’t thought of that. Yikes.
