I had often read about quilt challenges and when one was offered at a local quilt shop I could not resist joining the fun. That year there were several fabric collections from the Jane Austin Era. I bought fat quarters, fat eighths and a bit of yardages. Radiant Stars were popular in the early 1800's so I decided to use that as a starting place. This was to be a mini sized quilt and I started sewing up one inch diamonds.
In the summer of 2007 I was doing 2 distance ed courses for school, mentoring a couple of 20 somethings, doing peer counseling at a pregnancy and resource center and of course, milking cows. And, I had started no less than 6 quilts that year. I did not get it done in time for the challenge deadline so into a box it went. I have a whole bin of Jane Austin reproduction fabrics. Maybe I could pull these out for Mrs Billings to keep the historicity of the era. The quilt shop closed.

One inch diamonds!! Oh my this would be quite a challenge for me to finish! Do you plan to hand piece or machine piece? The colors are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your UFO series, and I am really enjoying it. I think this one should be appliqued to a background, and called done!
