Oh boy... I didn't realize I was so far behind in my posting of star block from the Stars in a Time Warp QAL. Geez!!! Where does the time go? (No pun intended - wink) So I will try to do these in order and hopefully you will learn something about these fabrics like I did.... at the very least find them interesting!
Week 36 was Lancaster Blue and Greek Keys. Very interesting to see the Greek Key motif used in clothing. However, I didn't have any of this style of fabric in my stash, so I went with the Lancaster Blue. You can see a good example of this color in the corner squares of my block.
Week 37 - Chocolate and Blue plus Lace Prints.
This chocolate and blue print was recently purchased and I love the look of these two colors together.
Week 38 was Black, Gray & Asian Style Design. I focused on the black fabrics from this week's lesson. I knew I had plenty of those to choose from. However, I realized I need to add some black and gray reproductions to my stash. :-)
Week 39 was about Claret Red. So pretty I had to make two!
Week 40 Barbara inspired us to use Cadet Blue & Celestials.
Again, the Cadet Blue was easy to find in my stash.. lots of grayish blues to choose from there!
And the Celestials are so much fun. I wish I had more of these, but I think these two fabrics fit the bill perfectly.
Right now I have 66 stars done... and we are going into week 41. Whew!
Week 34 was Bronze Style Prints. I chose the golden brown colored fabrics I found in my reproduction fabrics as Barbara suggested.
Week 35 was Cretonne. Hmmmm.. this was definitely a learning experience as I learned Cretonne was a style of fabric very much like Chintz. So I not sure I go this one 100% correct but I found a really pretty floral print to use for my star.
Week 36 was Lancaster Blue and Greek Keys. Very interesting to see the Greek Key motif used in clothing. However, I didn't have any of this style of fabric in my stash, so I went with the Lancaster Blue. You can see a good example of this color in the corner squares of my block. 
Week 37 - Chocolate and Blue plus Lace Prints. 
The lace print was a complete surprise. I was actually looking for something else when I found this in my stash. Don't you just love when something like that happens?? :-)

Meanwhile, Gracie has decided that the unfinished basket quilt on the back of the couch is a good place to take a snooze.... It will be well broken in by the time I get the binding finished!
Happy Stitching!

Wow, your really do have a lot of stars! They look great. And aren't you lucky to have such a good helper. My kitty is helpful like that too. LOL
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job catching up. I have about 4 weeks to do, not including today. You always pull out wonderful fabrics. I particularly like the chocolate and blue print.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely fabric in your stars - I find them very calming! I can't wait to see your finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of stars! Great that you could get caught up. I'm betting you're learning a lot about your stash.:)
