I used the AccuQuilt GO! cutter with the Chisel Die and the 3 1/2" Triangle Die to cut the pieces. I love how the center, where the four blocks are joined form a star rotating in the opposite direction. This would be lovely done in solids also. If you do that, go for strong contrasts.
Simply by adding more blocks, you could make this into a bed quilt. If you are really diligent, you could make the stars that are created by joining the blocks a different color and have each color spin in different directions. This would require using three colors of fabric.
If you make this design, please post a picture and send me a link to it. I would love to see what you do with it.
Love it Gene!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Day!
Isn't it fun to be surprised by what you get when you put things together? I also like the 3-D effect that's been achieved by high contrast here and there. Neat!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I like the rotating two-pronged/four-sided star effect in lights.
ReplyDeleteI love it - what a nice topper!

Great fabrics......I've gotta get into dying!
ReplyDeleteSo Gene have you figured out how to wash those cooling neck things? I've worn my two all summer and now they are a bit stinky....is there a way to refresh them? can they be thrown in the wash?
I haven't been able to find any info on them except how to make them.
Happy Sewing
Very nice. I like the design as the fabric is great.

Wow! Looks very pretty. I'm sitting here cruising quilting blogs when I should be writing. I'm glad though, otherwise I wouldn't have found your blog with the cool topper, which I won't be making, but I love seeing. Thanks for sharing. ~Nita
