Grandma’s Stars Quilt Top

stars3

I was able to finish all my Grandma’s Star blocks at our guilds UFO day on Saturday and even made one extra as I change my layout plan when I got home.  My original plan was for a rectangular layout but that was too narrow so I decided to go with a square layout and add borders.    I used templates by Matilda’s Own to make these blocks and  you can only get them in Australia.   I think I’ll quilt this one in the summer and do some custom quilting on it for fun as I do not have anyone to give this too yet.

    What a beautiful design! What a great enhancement on the base Grandmother’s Flower Garden! And as lovely as your winter outdoor shots are, I am so happy for you that your snow is finally disappearing. We all need some spring.....

    Beautiful.... so different to see the layouts "not on ice". You must be so happy (although it did make for some nice backgrounds)

    Kathy: Wow! What a beautiful setting your choose for this quilt. The Grandmother's star is a stunning block. The two borders are awesome. How did you figure out the math for the background inset triangles?
    I can't wait to see this one quilted!
