The last few days have been bright, but with clear blue skies there has been no protection from the cold … perhaps some bright colours will make me feel warmer.
Love the second design!

Interesting, though I keep turning my head to a 45 degree angle to see what the blocks look like on the straight!
I like the second one. Not my usual number of blocks in a design, but could be made with larger blocks to make a double or queen size quilt.

One block, the one in the centre, which is used as the quilting motif, but some pieces are replaced by background fabric. or the seam lines can be totally ignored so that larger pieces of background can replace three smaller pieces.
The result for the maker is less cutting and stitching, but the result is much more interesting.
I should use some blocks with just background fabric with just the quilted outline! I might have a play!

I started this project fie to see how far I could go with one star block. It is not the simplest star block out there, but is is far less complex than many, including may I have designed.
The second design has the quilting lines which are simply outlines of the block design, and which disregard the placement of the fabrics, and even the missing pieces.

Very busy, but I like the four plain squares near the centre … somewhere to rest the eyes.
Borders are a great way to make a collection of blocks made for a double bed big enough for a king size bed. I would be happy doing the applique, but would simplify the pieced one.

Autumn colours in Australia feature some of the leaves colour change common in many countries, but includes a lot of dry grass and dust. After early rains it can also feature glimpses of new grass.
This is the time of year I plan to have a bit dust up … wonder what treasures I will find under the dust this year!
