Today I decided to work on my Lone Rose Star quilt. This has been a difficult one for me to name. Basically its a Lone Star quilt, and I have EPP'ed some Rose Star blocks to encircle the Lone Star....so I call it my Lone Rose Star, but then there are multiple Rose Stars. Hmmm...I may have to change this name.
I debated on the layout of the star point so I took two pictures:
I decided to send the pictures to two friends (Darlene and Brenda ) and get their opinion. I was so glad they picked the one that in my mind I had already chosen, the one where the center is yellow - pink - green.
Today I got it put together and laid it out to see how the Rose Stars will look. I still have to square it up, add a border the same as the background so that the stars will fit and make one more Rose Star. I actually have two more Rose Star blocks, but I made them before I decided on the grey background and both of those stars have grey on the out edge and just get lost in the background.
The assembly of this quilt top was a real challenge for me with all the Y seams. Its not as wrinkly as it looks in the picture as I have it laid out on a sheet and could not pull it tight. Once I get the borders on , I will be able to pull the stars away from the Lone Star a little bit and maybe that will give it a little better look.
