Star, I'm Thinking - Part 2

I've added a row at the top and bottom of the body of the quilt to lend some length and that's that!!!

Now to get to work on the backing which sometimes takes longer to do than the top.....sigh

I'm using a couple of the t-shirts provided and the rest of the HSTs.

Finally done with the backing. Yeah!!! 

Now I'll need to quilt everything and present it to her.........I'm going to buckle down and get this done. You've heard it here!!

This is my own design that I sketched out a few years ago. Feel free to use it.

My friend Guilitta asked about the design I used for the star. I hope I explained well enough about the construction but might have fallen short.

So I'll try again to explain.  The block size can be "your own choice" that's the beauty of this design. If you're making a mini quilt to a king-sized quilt. I used 6 1/2 inch blocks for the memory quilt because I was working with fabric from her husband's shirts.

There are several ways to make HSTs and it's easy to find out on youTube.  I hope I've explained a bit better.

A Little Bit of Sunshine......

Look what happens when the sun comes out!

I've got a bit of my Mojo back....Yay! One of my girlfriends asked me to make her a throw from her old t-shirts a few months ago. At the time I was very busy with the play and now that the performance is over......I could "think" about starting but with the drab weather, I was having a large dose of the doldrums! Just yesterday the sun came out and my spirits rose to peak levels and off I went to my sewing room.  All I need to do now is get it quilted.

I think I'll get a head start on cutting the binding tomorrow.
