Annette asked about the pattern for the quilt on the bed from my last post. Luckily I knew I had it ... in the folder I keep of patterns used for quilts that I have made. Actually, it was where it should have been, only I had to hunt for the folder as it was moved in the re-organizing.
From McCall's Quilting in June 2005, the pattern is called Star Light. The basic block is a large pinwheels and the sashing creates the stars. I pieced this the summer of 2006 on my Featherweight as my domestic machine had died and not been replaced yet.
I made it larger ----and in 2 sections for easier quilting----as I wanted it wide enough to hang long and cover the sides of the bed. I think it ended up about 90'' by 110''. The original was in red and cream. If you are a follower in dire need of the pattern, email me with a request. I have a PDF.
Happy stitching.
This is just so soothing - great pattern. And oh to change up those darks to maybe a medium brown to further flow that neutral. NO Sharon - you have enough on your plate. (my mom has the magazine-I checked)
ReplyDeleteI like the ivory shades with the dark blue stars, nice job on fabric selection and quilting!
ReplyDeleteHow stunningly simple and crisp looking! Really like it.
ReplyDeleteIt's really beautiful, I see how the stars are made, but what about those squares?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same as Dana G - I understand the stars, but the squares confused me
ReplyDeletePS It looks great.
Love it, so calming.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the squares are formed by flip triangles added to the HST.

Your quilt is absolutely stunning, Debbie. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty quilt. I love the shades of neutral in the background. Very striking.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd love the pattern, please!!! I wonder if it would work with multi colors?
ReplyDeleteYes PLZ- I would LOVE the pattern!
ReplyDeleteIt may be and oldie but it's certainly a goodie!!
ReplyDeleteYes, please, I am in "dire need" of this pattern! Have to make a beige&brown wedding quilt...this one fits the bill perfectly! TIA!♥
ReplyDeleteGot the comment, but no email address to send it as you are no-reply. Try to email me direct for pattern.
DeleteThank you for letting me know...have sent you an e-mail!♥
DeleteThis is a beautiful pattern, and I understand hunting for things in the sewing room. I'm impressed you found it so quickly!
ReplyDeleteDear Debbie, You have a new follower (I hope When I put in my email address, I got a big ERROR sign!) Anyway, you are amazing. Your work is unbelievable. God has definitely given you very special talents that I, as a quilter admire so much. I first saw your work on FaveQuilts.com I saw Strip Pieced Water Color Quilt Part III and naturally had to see the first two parts! You create my favorite type of quilt - colorwash or watercolor. I love them but, I really struggle with color values. (I find solids hard enough but, when you try to piece prints I get flusterated.) Do you know of any books that go into that in detail? That's why I say you have a true gift!! I love the quilt featured today... It's a far cry from "watercolor" but, it's still so unique and lovely! You used the neutrals in such a striking way! I would love that pattern if you would consider sending it to me. I have subscribed to your blog but, just in case you don't get it, here is my email: lew45sholes@gmail.com. I also LOVE your "words of wisdom". (I noticed that when looking at one of your other posts.) I hope you reply... I love your innate creativity. Like I always say, "Quilting ain't for sissies!!"
ReplyDeleteDear Debbie, i absolutely adore that Star Light quilt. and your colours are so sophisticated too.
ReplyDeletePlease could you kindly forward the pdf to me at brent.susan@gmail.com.
Many thanx and greetings from Cape Town
