First there was this quilt ...
Then there was this quilt ...
Three years ago, I made
Garden Star, a Linda Brannock design. When I was asked to teach a class, in June, using this pattern (and the Tri-Recs ruler), I decided I better make another one as a refresher. I've always wanted to make 2 quilts, using the same pattern but make them look totally different.
I think I did it! One is very primitive/folk-arty and the other very modern/urban chic looking. The applique is more subtle on the second one. Kits are available for these and if you're interested ... I'd love to have you join us for the class. Call
And Sew It Goes!
Quilt #2 hasn't been quilted yet - I'm trying to decide if I should make it bigger. I'm thinking a piano key border and then a final outside border.
Suggestions?

I love the colors in your newest one. I think a piano key boarder would be 'sew' fun! It is neat to see pictures of the two quilts, looking completly different. That is a lovely quilt pattern.

I'm a quilter who knits, too. I love the variations and the added applique.
