Monday design floor


I've got my friendship star quilt laid out
and a few rows sewn together.
It's definitely scrappy, based on a loose colour scheme
of neutrals, burnt orange into red and any shade of green.
Yes, I know some of the stars spin the other way
and that some blocks are shoofly
and others are just plain nine-patches.

This is a marriage quilt that speaks to the complexities and fun of marriage.
The friends who are getting it
had a really short engagement
and there was no time to make a wedding quilt.

I'm linking up with Judy at Patchwork Times.

I like the scrapiness, the variety of neutrals, and spinning both directions. A lot to look at and enjoy.

I like this a lot (and your analogy with marriage is a good one!) I think the scrappiness and the mix of blocks etc makes it more appealing, more individual.

This is a gorgeous quilt, and the variety makes it even better. If the couple doesn't like it, you can give it to me!
