Strip Diamond Stars

Oops. I may have just started another quilt.

I'm heading in the direction of string diamond stars, but that's about all I know. Except that I want this to have a more subdued palette.

 I have this bin out because I have been working on the Spiderweb. While I have included a full range of fabrics in the Spiderweb, I skip over some of the more subtle colors and designs. Not because I don't like them but because I get the sense that they don't want to spend the rest of their lives at a noisy party.

And thanks to Leanne and Nicky for sponsoring Scraptastic Tuesday. Last month I won the gift certificate to Mad About Patchwork. Here are the fabrics I chose. Okay...maybe I went a bit crazy. When I first got the certificate, I spied the bears and fell in love with them. But when I went back to get them, they were gone. This meant I had to find them elsewhere. But in spirit, I got them for participating in Scraptastic Tuesday.

I "inherited" my Great-Grandmother's UFO box and in it are 8 or 9 of these scrappy string pieced stars!

I rather like the idea of a quiet party of strings (she said after attending a loud and boisterous quilting retreat and having out-of-state family in town for all sorts of celebrations). Quiet.... What a concept! But those bears - my eyes went straight to them. So cute. Looks like you got some great stuff.

Those bears are pretty cute--I can see why you had to have them!

LOVE the stars in the more subdued palette. Looks rather vintage. Good luck with the Y seams. Even after all of them in my finished Jack's Chain and the Triangle Stars I struggle with them.

CUTE fabrics. I seem to be collecting little critters lately too. Not sure what I'm going to do with all of them. You?

Those stars might be having a quieter party, but it looks like fun to me! And I already oopsed this month, or else I'd be tempted to start one of these, too...

We all seem to be heading into new projects even though we have enough to keep us busy!! Lovely subdued string star, and lucky you for scoring such a great fabric selection.

I think I will have to tackle stars some day - I'm stuck on rectangles right now.
