scrappy UFO finally finished
2 Attachment(s)
Several years back I saw this pattern at the Sisters Oregon Outdoor Quilt Show. For at least 3 years, It has been sitting in one of my drawers waiting for me to quilt it. A friend quilted it for me and I just finished the binding. (I have made 2 or 3 small versions of this as baby quilts as well.
According to Barbara Brackman, the pattern has (at least) 2 names: Vestibule (Ladies Art Company) and Square Cross (Nancy Cabot). It's a great way to use lots of scraps. The border, binding and the folded HST star point were the only things that were not scraps. |
Oh, that looks great! How big were the squares? I can see how it would reduce the scrap piles a lot.
|
The squares were cut at 5.5, 2.5 and 1 3/8" (The last was folded for the star HSTs) The other was cut at 2.5"x5.5". I suspect the one I saw at the Sisters Show was somewhat larger, but those sizes worked for me. About half of the star points were scraps, the rest were ubleached muslin.

I got the pattern from Quilters Cache where it was called Morning Star. Size of the blocks were larger, think squares were 6 1/2 or 9 1/2. It's a quick and good looking quilt.

just lovely

Thank you all. This is one of those patterns that non-quilters think is much more complex than it is. One of the great things about scrappies is the same thing as it was for our great-grandmothers. You pick up a fabric and remember what it was a scrap from. Of course, if you are new to quilting, get FQs or buy half yards of things you like and do it that way. I just noticed that a half yard will make 4 2 1/2" strips and 5 5 1/2" strips (WOF...width of fabric) Hmmmm It might be fun to make this up in batiks.
