I bought this kit three years ago, intending not to use it. I thought the starry light and dark blues would be the perfect foil for that year’s yellow state fair challenge fabric, but they were out of print. The only way I could buy them was in this panel kit. I never even bought the pattern. I just took what I wanted to make the challenge quilt (which pleased me but not the judges) and shelved the rest. For three years! Boredom is a wonderful thing. I’ve been bored enough this year to turn my efforts to projects that might otherwise never have happened. I pulled out the plundered kit and wondered if there was enough of the two blues left to make SOMETHING. I wondered if I was clever enough to make it without a pattern. The finished top isn’t EXACTLY like the original, but I like it. And there’s even enough leftover for another small quilt! Happy New Year!
