This gorgeous quilt is from Petra Prins's new book and all the stars are fussy cut from the Dutch Heritage fabrics. Right up my street. Petra was teaching this class at Cowslip Workshops and so I booked it. Petra's classes are always a delight.
Of course my version had to be pink. I changed the background fabric from the one in the kit and I am pleased with it.
It is not a big quilt, more cot sized I would say but these are 2" diamonds and hexagons so it will grow quickly.
In class, as we finished one star it had to be pinned to the wall and as you can see they all look amazing. My suggestion was that this would make a fabulous group quilt for charity.
At my sewing group Margaret's daughter has ventured into a cake making business and one of her products are these gorgeous quilt block inspired biscuits. Thought it went rather well with my not so mystery mystery quilt blocks. What is more, it was delicious. You can check out
Happy Stitching

ReplyDeleteYou've been so fortunate to have a class from both Di and Petra. I saw her China Blue quilt last month in Amersfoort. It's beautiful. I like your pink version as well. I can see we are pretty much in the same spot on Petra's not so mystery mystery quilt.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to be a neighbor to Petra and to enjoy the class. Very lovely quilt blocks.
