Star Alignment

Are you checking for star points in my quilt? I'm not referring to pieced stars - rather the cosmic kind. My personal stars aligned yesterday with frigid temps, lots of snowfall and Lori's doll quilt-along. I usually make full size quilts - quite a time investment. It was great working on a project that could be completed in a 'snow day'.

Thanks, Lori! I'm naming this quilt after you - Oregon Trails.

  1. It looks great Vicki! Is the center squares by Jo morton...cheddar and something? Or butter and something?
    It looks wonderful!! It is fun to do a little quilt every now and then and I'm so happy you joined in.

  2. The center square is an old Windham Dargate Indigo.

    your light fabric is what I chose for my sashing for my nearly insane quilt
    I know who to call now if I don't have enough of it!
    I bought all I could find and its short of what the book recommended not by much but knew I could put out an SOS if I need to!

  12. I like seeing a version with different fabric in place of cheddar. Love your fabric choices! Nothing beats Dargate fabrics for being bold, bright, and beautiful.
