Title: Star quilt
Post by: Bernadette on October 25, 2020, 07:26:55 AM
I'm not sure if I posted this here or not, but I dug out the photo to put on Facebook's quilting group, so I thought I'd share. I call this my star quilt, inspired by one (in much more somber fabrics, probably old clothes) that I saw on Pinterest years ago. It took me over a year to sew by hand. Each star is unique. I'm getting ready to sew another one, which is why I was looking at the photos. I'll need more fabric (yay!) to make it big enough to cover my bed. I can't wait to start sewing again; it's been a long time.

That really is lovely.  I think that a project like you are planning would make a good form of stress management (which everybody seems to need a lot of these days) as well as an outlet for creativity.

It's very soothing. And I listen to audiobooks while I sew. It's great.

Beautiful quilt, Bernadette! It *is* a relaxing hobby and in 2020, that's a good thing.

No, I just cut out the pieces with a template, marked the seam lines, and sewed the pieces together.

Even more impressive!
