I found this photo online (sorry I cannot trace it back to the owner or the photographer) and it was the inspiration quilt for my Stars in a Time Warp.
(The antique quilt is (was?) owned by Vintage Blessings. She has a shop on EBay
and a FB page. If I recall correctly, she showed the cheddar star picture on FB
and said she didn't know if she could let that one go. I haven't seen it for
sale but I might have missed it. Someone must have copied her photo and put it
on Pinterest without attribution.) Thanks Taryn!!
I'll be happily reading along Barbara Brackman's Westering Women series, beginning January 27th. Read more about it HERE.
Beautiful quilt--set on the cheddar background it is just stunning
ReplyDeleteI have a copy of that first quilt in my files too. I remember thinking I wanted to make that quilt some day. Love your version!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous setting Lori and this will be a beautiful quilting for your quilt !
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about it too and at this time I had no idea for the quilting ! It's very difficult with these stars !
This will be another challenge for me ! :)
I wish you a wonderful week-end !
A fabulous flimsy!!! Love the cheddar.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful, love that cheddar, always makes me happy! Thanks for showing the picture of the inspiration quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove this, Lori! The simplicity is so great. Mine is pretty complicated so this makes me want to make another--but probably won't...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out really nice. The cheddar ties the blocks together and gives that great vintage look. I like the quilting on the original.....could the double lines be done with a twin needle?
ReplyDeleteI didn't make one this time, but did follow along. I'm looking forward to the next one....should be able to manage a block a month.
Love how vintage your quilt looks...beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove how vintage your quilt looks...beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLori it is so beautiful. Hugs
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. I love that there are two different fabrics in the outer border. I love the look. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful! I love it. I think the different cheddar fabrics really add a lot of personality to it.
ReplyDeleteYour cheddar stars are awesome. The two different border fabrics give your top an extra humbled sweet look.
ReplyDeleteBoth yours and the inspiration quilt are lovely. I like how the pictured quilt is quilted. Double lines take lots of patience though :0)
ReplyDeleteIt is just simply beautiful! I love the borders with the brown set between the cheddar fabric. It frames the quilt so nicely and draws the eye right back to the stars. Job well done! :) Just curious- on an average do you sew daily? Love your style! :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful...I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe different cheddars only add to the authenticity of the look. What a striking quilt you have made!
ReplyDeleteDDG!!! (drop dead gorgeous!!!)
ReplyDeleteNice work Lori! I have taken your humble quilts approach to heart since I found your blog and no longer worry about perfection, adding in mismatching bits of fabric and not stressing about lining up my seams. I tell myself, "this is a humble quilt"!
ReplyDeleteThis is a bright sunny quilt for a gray day . . . . .
ReplyDeleteWow I love that quilt! Love the scrappy stars. I like the setting your chose!
ReplyDeleteSunny yellow and just striking!
ReplyDeleteYour version is wonderful! I love what you did with the borders, gives it such a great look! Great inspiration quilt, and I love the quilting on it!
ReplyDeleteI love the stars you made. Using a solid alternate square makes the quilt larger. How big is yours?? Will you send it out for quilting then??
