I tried sewing sections and should have stuck with a row at a time, seams in, seams out.

I think the stars in alternate corners will be good but then, they will be smaller once the quilt is sewn together, so maybe not. But even if not, I'll probably just leave them unless I decide earlier to cut the tan squares smaller. <br /><br />How generous to offer your back stash. When I find fabric I like I sometimes buy longer pieces but I don't have a piece that will work for the Gwenny medallion. I'll probably put that quilt on the back burner until I find backing for it I think will work and layer a quilt I do have a back for.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-84334981120917824592018-01-15T20:25:29.578-05:002018-01-15T20:25:29.578-05:00Thank you for your kind words about this quilt, Al...Thank you for your kind words about this quilt, Allison.

I think "wallflower" perfectly describes this quilt. <br /><br />I'm not a huge fan of yellow but I'm warming up to it much more than to blue and have a stack of pale yellows that I've bought over time, nearly always thinking they were cream.

Back in my art college days, that blue would have been called Diamine Prussian Blue, and it's a really calm, elegant shade.
