Summer Solstice: A Life Of Its Own



Oh, Yes!  I've been auditioning inner border fabrics and it's beginning to take on a life of its own.

I did so enjoy this modern fabric but decided it would be making too much of a statement so I rejected it......then pulled it back out again with a new attitude.

And, in that same spirit, I auditioned it with the little peachy border.  Works very peachily for me.

I'm now wrapping the lone star with some of my favorite fabrics and loving that it is beginning to take on a life of its own.

 Okay.....at this point, I again reversed the center points to the outer points and like how the bolder star tips are sparking on each corner fabric.  I'm also really liking that modern look in the top fabric.  Seems to be a perfect separation for each corner fabric.  I need to re-think the peach border (or maybe not).

All eight of the small New York beauty blocks (aqua and yellow) are completed, now to tackle the large gray and orange ones.  When all that is done, perhaps I can tell more about how those borders will fit.  Thankfully, this quilt's life isn't set in stone and can take on a new one with just the change of a fabric. 
 My day is cut out for me.

    1. I only had a taste of the border fabric I wanted to use, so the rest is on order. Hope this works out a perfectly on the design wall as it is in my head.

  4. Your star is gorgeous, Marty! I love the color combinations especially with the blocks radiating out of the black center. The peach border and the orangey polka dot do a fabulous job of pulling the peachy colors out of the star, but I'm glad I don't have to choose the print! It's too difficult a decision. I love one, look again and love another. Nope, chickie, this one's on you! (choose your favorite)
