I have another friend prego and I made this quilt for her. Her baby shower is after I move so I won't be able to attend so I needed to get it done before I move.
My friend really likes the more "traditional" style quilts so this is what I came up with.
Anyway, it was suppose to be a quilt consisting of the Carpenter's Wheel blocks. BUT I wanted it to be completely scrappy consisting of the reds and blues in the DS Quilts fabrics. Well it just wasn't working out. So I constructed the center "Star Flower" then just winged it on the perimeter of it. After 4 of them, I got super sick of half square triangles, that I gave up. So for the center block, I did the star flower and then just used the fabrics to frame it. Then I realized it still needed more so I did the star flowers for each corner. I like how it turned out. Hope she does too! I'll give it to her later this month. (I'm pretty sure she doesn't read my blog, so I think I'm safe!)
I think it is a wonderful baby quilt to give to a friend that you will be leaving - STARS. A star quilt given upon a seperation is a momento - look to the stars to find each other.
