Out of the cupboard
Another quilt out of the cupboard. This is an oldie from the early 1990's. I made a romper for DD out of the blue iris fabric. I used a goofy tool to cut the star points, first I cut bias strips at an odd angle and sewed two strips together then cut rectangles.... anyway I cut all right hand triangles or maybe it was left but I only had one side so I had to make the mirror image side so somewhere I have a similar quilt that has never been finished. The pairs of star points are 2 rectangles sewn together. I thought I tossed the tool when the tri rec tools came out but I found it last week so now it is gone. I just machine quilted in the ditch. Now I would accentuate the pale yellow star in the middle with free motion quilting and quilt the cornerstones of the blocks to look like bees or butterflies. I had so little imagination for machine quilting then but I did put a lot of effort into piecing the border. I could use it for practice quilting. --Ann--
Very cute. Love the border and the back.
