Star Flowers

 

You don’t have to pay close attention to notice I generally have half a dozen projects going at once. In addition to the tops I’m actively working on at any given moment, there are also many more sitting “on the back burner.” I start with the intention of seeing it through without major interruptions, but then life happens. I run out of a particular print and can’t find a substitute. My pattern is less well-written than I’d thought, and everything goes on hold until I find a solution. Or (this happens way more often than you’d think) the prints I found so charming at the store are suddenly irritating. Often, just setting a quilt aside a few weeks (or months, or years) sorts everything out. I started this in 2017. I liked the flower blocks, but wasn’t sure I could do the curved border justice. Five years later, I realize I don’t WANT a curved border. Problem solved.
