Yellow Yellow

 Recently inspired by this simple old quilt


Decided to do a white + 1 colour ( mainly! ) quilt

Chose Ohio star block 

And hexagons appliqued on


Funky half triangle border



Now, just wondering how to do final border.........just got Carol Doak's paper pieced star book, but the CD was  a video of how to paper piece, I thought it would be like the CD with her other paper pieced block book where you can print resize etc....instead had to jam the book under the photocopier etc.........grrrr. 

Was thinking of adding 4 different stars at corners.....tried this one
I have great difficulty with piecing star centres, at least this way you do it via 4 blocks, which is easier to achieve


Maybe I will try it smaller in just white/yellow....hmmm, have to think now..........

Its FREEZING today in UK, winter winds arrived, time for more quilts on the beds folks

  1. I'm making the same quilt in similar colors, mine is a bit more cheddar and is solid I like the idea of different stars in the corner. I'm debating bringing in another fabric into mine, it's on hold right now as I try to finish a BASICS quilt.

  2. Yes, BASICS should take priority now the weather is so cold......
