| Twilight Stars |
The friendship
star block is a fairly easy one, made up of squares and half square
triangles. Purple, true blue, and navy batiks with light gray
centers show up beautifully against a sky blue background. This 40”
x 52” size would be a nice crib or lap quilt. I sewed the top in
August and finally quilted Twilight Stars on Saturday.
I
put together a little bonus quilt from the scraps, called Grapesicle. I used my
new equilateral triangle die to quickly cut pieces, so the front was
done in a day.
Backing is pieced in random strips of pink, purple, and gray,
set in two rows. I stitched along the triangles for an overall
diamond pattern and bound it with a gray stripe. It measures 22” x
26” and coordinates with the grape walls in my sewing room.

“I
just want the simple things. I want to lay on a blanket at twilight
and look at the stars. I want to breathe deeply, then exhale out
negativity. And I know it is within my power to do just that. So I did. I left crazy drama behind to walk straight toward simplicity and peace. I've never been happier.” – Author Unknown
