PQ 8.1


I'm thrilled to share my mini for Project Quilting theme 8 is Great. My design is based on this 8 pointed origami star. You can read about my trial here.


I had simplify it to suit fabrics. 


So I draw it and cut out just one section as my template.


My mini ended up 7" square. I did not center it as I prefer off set settings.


I did not marked anything while quilting so these lines are not perfectly straight and I did not aim for perfect spacing either. I call this anyhow style :) 


I have added hanging corners and I like this choice for backing fabric. It's a scrap I found in my stash. 


It was fun to look for spot where to take picture. All white snow was kind of boring.
For those new to my blog I'm adding info about my location. I blog from currently freezing Europe. The very heart of it called the Czech Republic.


I enjoy seeing all the different interpretation of this theme. I have already saw some pretty cool projects. Please see for yourself @PersimonDreams site and vote for your favorites.

  6. SNOW!!!!! If you turn left and keep going from the centre of Europe, you eventually reach us. We have no snow yet but apparently you are sending it over at the end of the week. Thank you, I don't think.
    I love this little origami and linen quilt. I think I missed this, but what is the star made from? Is it leather? And, where do I find the instructions for the folded star you made?
