I made these little star blocks earlier in the year and have about a dozen of them done so far. They are very small blocks made with .75" diamonds for the stars. There are more ready to stitch, so I think this will be the first thing made for the challenge.
The Jane Austen quilt in black and white with a splash of ?? -- maybe red -- is something that keeps going through my mind. I'd love to make that quilt in a variety of colourways, but a black and white one has really captured my imagination. Now to find a black and white large floral for the centre medallion.

What happy little stars!
ReplyDeleteLove these blocks! Red would be awesome! Welcome aboard!
ReplyDeleteLove the little star blocks. A black and white Dear Jane? Are you insane... but it would look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteNo way would I do a Jane Stickle quilt. The Jane Austen quilt is composed of diamonds -- lots and lots of wonderful diamonds. Still thinking on it. :-)
ReplyDeleteIs there a place with a picture of a Jane Austen quilt? Maybe I can find one in a search. I have always wanted to do a Baby Jane, just picking blocks out of the original dear Jane that speak to me. But I want to do mine all in shades of red or blue on cream background.
ReplyDeleteWOW, don't they look great!!!!

ReplyDeleteI love the drama of the black and white in this Cathi.
