Love the friendship star star sashing. Like the colors and all--truly a beautiful quilt. Thanks for sharing.

Now I need to figure out WHY I like this so much:o Maybe the small scale prints/ solids, the balance of the color intensity...not sure. Do like the friendship stars in the sashing strips for sure!

It is more pleasing than other sampler quilts because, as you mentioned, the fabrics mix quietly and also all the blocks are made from HST. The shapes are all similar enough to make them feel like they belong together. They also share a common background, white. I like sampler quilts and this one really works!

Great quilts. Were they made with a specific person in mind...or just for fun?

yes, the big boy quilt was made for a grdsn who will be 3 dec 24. he graduated to a twin bed. i have pretty much watched him for his working mom since he was born, but he started day care/preschool at the local school. thus, i can sew again. the ones i made for last xmas were D9P's. simply, easy, so i could churn them out in the evenings.
the BBQ was a kit from a LQS, and i added the blue with stars like in the border to increase the size.
