My daughter's preschool is having a fundraising auction today. Don't ask me why, but I felt compelled to make them a quilt. Everyone loves a quilt right?
Having limited time to do the job though, I decided to start with some star blocks that have been sitting around my house literally for about 6 years. That's when I took a block of the month class using Thangles and went a little crazy creating star blocks. I love stars!! Then I found a pattern I had purchased from Southwind Designs that I hadn't tried yet and the center of the quilt was born!!
The Southwind Design dragonfly. It's easier than it looks and I love the results.
Deciding on what to do for the border literally took me 3 days, but when it was done I did a quick meandering quilt stitch with stars thrown in for good and measure and ta-da!! A quilt is born.
The irony is that in figuring out the border, I now have several dragonfly blocks left over that I didn't use! Apparently there's another quilt in my future . . .
I can't wait to see what it auctions for!
