Last year, I participated in a Missouri Star block swap that included quilters from Australia, Canada, and various states. I think I made two sets of 12 blocks and then a few more, so that I ended up with at least 25 blocks. The stars were to be made using gray backgrounds and were stash busters, so some are quite wild. Here's the top I finished today.
I like the darker gray Robert Kaufman's Quilter's Linen I used for the sashing and setting triangles, and somehow I threw in a little black, too, as the cornerstones. I may add a thin stripe of black to offset the gray triangles. Is it finished or do I want to make it bigger? Not sure yet, so it stays on the bed while I think.
It's amazing to think that this is the third top I've finished in the last two weeks. Our below zero temperatures and yesterday's 18" of snow have really helped.
