Granny squares quilt - no progress from last week.
Giant star quilt - still no progress. Any suggestions on how to quilt this would be gratefully received. I still think I want to do straight line quilting in the background, and something else in the star. I think the quilting will really show up in the solid blue and pink parts though, so it needs to be just right.
Equilateral triangle quilt - I have pieced 4 rows of a total of 14. This is still slow going, and I just need to keep chipping away at it. The good news is, I am (slightly surprisingly) quite enjoying putting it together.
Dappled sunlight - here are posts on the trimming process, the trimmed half square triangles and layout options. The quilt top is now complete and awaiting basting and quilting. I am planning to quilt straight lines approximately a quarter inch off each diagonal seam - clean and simple. I am thinking about trying to find a variegated thread with pink, yellow, green and orange in it, because I think it would look nice against the grey. I also need to choose a backing and a binding fabric.
Linking up with Freshly Pieced:
Your Dappled Sunlight quilt is beautiful! I made one of the Giant Star quilts and did straight line quilting in the solid background (http://gemini-stitches.blogspot.com.au/2011/11/amy-butler-love-starflower.html).
