It’s been a work in progress since the middle of last year when I took a class with the lovely Michelle Yeo. California Star was it’s name and it was the challenge I was looking for. It has been packed away under the sewing table for a few months, mocking me, “you’ll never finish me, I know you, start something and never finish it”. At that stage there was only one large circle finished, still a loooooooong way to go.
Then came a day away at Sewjourn courtesy of Jan and her giveaway, a whole day sewing. I had a choice, chicken out and do something quick and easy or drag out the California Star and attack it with gusto. I took the latter option and have worked away on it ever since.
And so here it is (almost) finished…..
It is supposed to have a pieced border, but I have decided it will have a plain border, maybe a small red strip and then a larger green, not sure yet, I will have to visit Karen at Somerset and get some advice.
Ahhhhhh, nothing like (almost) finishing a project, or as my buddy in crime Janellybelly says “get that monkey off your back!”
Then I have to decide how I want to quilt it!
