Star Pop II - by Emily Dennis of Quilty Love

Second quilt of 2023!

My word for 2023 is "Light" - I want to shine, to glow, to ignite, to sparkle, to illuminate. To lighten up and lighten my load - physically, mentally and emotionally. So I'm collecting images of stars, sunflowers, candles etc to remind me. This would make a cute baby blanket, but for now its going to grace the wall in my living room.

Quilt finish! This is made of the off-cuts of a larger quilt that’s going to be sandwiched next but the relatively small size and the fact that I had backing material readily available meant it got done first. At only 3′x3′, it’s one of the smallest quilts I’ve done (that weren’t pillows).

This is the bonus quilt that’s part of Quilty Love’s Happy Stripes pattern, although I simplified it a bit by using rectangles between each HST instead of two squares because then I didn’t have to do as much seam matching and frankly it was just less sewing thanks to a bit of math.

This one doesn’t have a home at this point. Not sure if I’m going to offer it up to friends or keep it in reserve for future babies. Although I’m getting old enough that most of my friends are done with babies until the grandkids start arriving.
