Jeni Baker's Vintage Star pattern was on my to do list for ages before I set to piecing the giant star whilst on my summer hols this year. I've been spending some time this past week quilting and binding this Bee Blessed quilt so that it doesn't migrate on to my UFO list accidentally. Here she is -
It was a very satisfying quilt top to make, and I really love the idea of enlarging block designs to make a dramatic quilt, perhaps more suitable for folks who mightn't be so keen on smaller, fussier patchwork. Hmmm, brain beginning to get ahead of me again ...
I also snuck in some more wonky crosses blocks for the man quilt - I'm loving the deep reds and yellows together.
Until next time ...

I just dug the fabric out I cut to make a large star quilt. I only cut it up last year! Finally ordered the negative space fabric and then had a brain wave that this might be a good pattern for Chief's quilt. So I've ordered extra fabric for his. Yours looks fab.
