This turned out exactly the way I wanted it, I'm so pleased with the soft blues and browns. I really enjoyed these blocks, they have kept me amused since 2017.
Making all those 2" Hourglass units taught me a lot about accurate piecing, and how to achieve the best results on my machine. I wouldn't hesitate to tackle any design containing them now. And see, I even mitred those borders after all. This is the third quilt that I've made with borders of that fabric; it didn't give me any trouble this time, so I must have finally learnt how to deal with it. There was only half a metre left, and I gave that to Mereth for her stash. I'll have to look out for another reproduction fabric to replace it. This is the 10th top finished this year.
Just lovely! I too love those soft blues and browns...very pretty! Good job mitering those corners!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful quilt and will be so comforting to wrap in! Ohio Star was the first block I attempted - with not so great results. I soon learned to work with squares first.:) But I'll always love this block!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue/brown combination. Very striking! Am enjoying all your recent posts!

ReplyDeleteEverything about this quilt is just wonderful - the beautiful color choices are so well highlighted by the layout you used! the narrow sashing allows each star to shine. A real winner fron any perspective!
