We are having a break in the weather. It has been wonderful this weekend. I pulled some weeds yesterday and I have decided that you never finish weeding you just stop! There are always some more.
This star was made by taking an orange rectangle and cutting it into irregular blocks. I love this method but it can be tedious to be sure you put the square back in the right place.
I love this star, the purple worked out beautifully. I also added the sawtooth to make it work. This is a technique I learned from Gwen Marston. She encourages you to use similar fabrics to make them "overflow". I also had to add a strip to this one to make it fit.
This is one of the panels. I used pieces of fabric and sawtooth to make things fit. I didn't put a lot of contrast in my sawtooth this time. I like the subtle color changes.
This is the other panel. I used the sawtooth in this one too.
I cannot show you the whole thing but this the central part of the quilt. Yes there is a word but i don't want to show the whole word right now. It is a surprise for a special friend.
These colors really speak to me!

I went back and caught up on older posts. I am loving all the liberated stuff you're doing. Love the red/black quilt you made for the college girl, and your hubby did great on choosing the backing. I love that he felt a draw to helping create that one. Love all your starz and beautiful colors!!!!
Love the colors....
