witha'K'quilting Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 how about a spiro in the center star...and in the centers of the other complete stars? does this get your juices flowing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoryJM Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 That's it...it helps!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kueser Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 You could do interlocking circles around each star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoryJM Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Unfortunately, if you look closely, neither of those ideas work. Some stars are actually part of two different blocks. Still thinking all over.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 you have the large star centers that could still get spiros. yes, the centers are part of other stars...but still could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 What a great quilt! Here's my suggestion--ignore the piecing and quilt the blocks of colors. Quilt gold in the yellow, blue in the blue, green in the green, etc. See what great shapes the colors make? The green and blue come out diagonally, the yellows are isolated but make those balanced rectangles, the reds are smaller rectangles, etc. You can run feathers up and down the blues and greens and figure matching spine shapes to feather the other spaces. Or you could stitch your favorite meandering fill--feathers, leaves, loops, whatever and change thread colors as you get to a new section. Or do some geometrics instead--still changing colors as you go. Metro thread would be pretty on this and I would match the medium tone in the blocks so some of the quilting will actually show! Pictures please when you finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busy Quilting Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I would do something in the centre star, then the colour rays go out in NSEW directions (out to the corners) so do a long feather run in those. Then you could in fill the triangle areas between these diagonals with more Feather/fern type fills. Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoryJM Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Linda, the color thing got my creative mind going...I think it was stuck in neutral! Thanks!! I like the NSEW idea too (although it took me a minute to figure out was N-SEW was:o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Me too, Dory. I saw it the same as you, and then I had to go back and re-read it. It was like I was having a "gray" moment. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
