Singing River Stars
 
5 Attachment(s)
The older BH&G book where I saw this quilt refers to the block as Saint Charles Star, although I haven't found that anywhere else. In recognition of the name early Native Americans gave the Tennessee River, which is nine miles from my home, I call my quilt Singing River Stars.

I pieced this top in 2008. The blue and cream fabrics are Moda Bella solids. Quilted on my Babylock Tiara, using HQ circle templates.

Your stars are perfectly pieced, your quilting is superb, and I love the soothing colors of the quilt. I'm glad you finished this one. Does it have a home yet? I can send you my address!

Love the calm colors and your piecing and stitching are perfect for this pattern.

ManiacQuilter2 04-04-2016 04:11 AM

Beautiful, looks like ice crystals falling. Love that you used the Baptist fan for quilting this quilt. It is not a difficult pattern to use when quilting by machine.

sinceresissy 04-04-2016 04:12 AM

The blues are very calming looking. I think it is a job well done.

RedGarnet222 04-04-2016 09:03 AM

What a dreamy quilt! I could stare at it for hours enjoying the blocks, colors and quilting. I can see the water running around the rocks and flowing down hill. Great quilt!

QuiltnLady1 04-04-2016 10:18 AM

Beautiful quilt. The colors are well chosen and very calming -- like a small stream. Congratulations on a job well done.
