Little Star


Angela at Quilting in the Cornfields and I were both lamenting the fact that we missed out on the Fall Four Season's Quilt Swap. So I proposed that we do a one-on-one fall swap. Here is the quilt that I made for her.

Fall in my neck of the woods is a wonderful time for star gazing. The wintertime clouds haven't appeared yet and it is still warm enough to plant the telescope on top of a mountain and just look. So I made a field of twinkling stars.

Whaddya think?

Update: I have been asked if it is my pattern. No, it is not. I got the pattern from "No Big Deal -- Mastering the Art of Miniature Quiltmaking" by Deborah L. White. But if you study it, you can see that it is only made with half-square triangles and a few squares.

  1. I think it's absolutely lovely, wonderful, and perfect (I love star gazing as well). And not to sound childish -- but I've been having to tell Tink that it's mine, mine, all mine darn it!!!!!

  5. I think it is sweet that you "made up for" missing out on the swap, and made this beautiful quilt for her. I wouldn't have thought of star gazing in the fall, but it is a perfect time to do it!
