HUNTER’S STAR

Using the Deb Tucker process and template I created this quilt using a variety of black and cream prints, while incorporating a mixed array of red prints for the stars giving them a sense of sparkle.  Using the Tucker template insured precision in the execution of the stars. It was an enjoyable project.  Still on the design wall, needing borders and quilting.

Finally finished this classic quilt design; meandering in all the cream-colored triangles. I chose a soft cream print for the backing.





LeMoyne Stars

This quilt grew out of a set of fat quarters with alternating patterns in soft red and slate blue.  I decided on eight point stars to illustrate the alternating color ways of each fabric.  I used black as the foil to set them off,  used red as the inner border and black again for the outer.  It is a piece with lots of drama.  I added black/grey yo-yos in the center of the stars.
