making things

In the summer between college and uni, two friends and I made 1000 paper cranes to bid each other luck. It's been 15 years since then, and one of those friends just got married.

These foundation paper pieced cranes are made from the remnants of her wedding dress and were an absolute nightmare - silk and chiffon are not designed for this sort of thing! But the result so far is well beyond what I hoped it would be. Onto the quilting and binding!

quilting-is-my-new-hobby

I have seen a few sampler quilts with stars that I really liked online so I knew a star quilt would be in my future. Unrelatedly, I had picked up a copy of The Block Book by Judy Martin but I found it has a ton of star patterns. Then, at a quilters’ garage sale last month, I saw a $1 scrap bag of yellow fabrics. That’s serendipity if I’ve ever seen it, so I decided it was time to start my stars.

The first two were directly from the book. The third one is similar to one in the book but it was a 10.25” block and the others were 12” so I decided to tweak it a bit, resize it, and make it a paper pieced pattern. The process would have been far simpler if I had one of those 45 degree rulers, but with a little trigonometry I made it work.

For the layout I have in mind I’ll need about 16 of the 12” stars and 8 or so 6” stars. Right now, I think I will do all of the small stars in that cathedral window style, but we’ll see if I change my mind.
