2014

For a couple of years, I’ve been saving strips trimmed from quilt backs and leftover strips.  This quilt from June/July 2014 QUILT magazine looked like a good way to use some up.  I didn’t like the name – Spring Cleaning.  That’s like naming a quilt “Mopping the Kitchen”.  Also instead of using light prints in the areas between the stars, I used mostly white and light neutrals.  I think it defined the stars better.

This is a monster, finishing up at 90×90!

I’ve been wanting to make something for my friend Gary for years,so when she said she liked this, she got it.

This shows the print I used for the backing.  It took over 7 yards.  Thank heavens for sales and coupons!
