It swears it is a quilt for the confident beginner - it looks mindblowingly hard, but the assembly isn't that scary once examined closely. The colors - I LOVE THEM! The fun thing is the artist who created these materials is the one whose material I bought. Different colors, but a lot of the same pattern fun, so very pretty. They are mostly in shades of blues to purples, and reds/oranges/browns/yellows. I got them all washed last night and tonight will iron, and start getting ready to put together each star. That's why I want to bug Shay - she has that huge table that I really want to take advantage of, and stand there and contemplate each one until I am happy. Since she offered, I jumped on it! Hopefully it won't take me hours...

I have only made a baby quilt in the past, but with a seamstress for a mom - wedding dresses, work clothes and such, she had a number of clients - I have done a LOT of stitching (and pearling lol - my entire wedding dress, plus lots of others). I think it is kind of a nice way to get back to that - oh nostalgia - and remembering how much I enjoyed doing handwork and such. I've wanted to do this for years and years and years... Why now? I don't know. I just need it?

Plus meeting new people is awesome - lol your sister's friends, one of whom is a friend of mine from ages ago - that makes it nice too. AND our admin is an avid quilter too!
