Arranging Rose Stars

With the Rose Stars all finished, it was time to pick a final arrangement. Here are the blocks on the design wall as they've been for the past few months. I did the quilty math at the end of January and pinned up the blocks I had finished to define the quilt perimeter before I started filling in the middle. 


Picking a final arrangement for blocks in a quilt top is not part of the process that I enjoy. It feels like a lot of pressure. Up until then, it seems like no big deal to pick out a seam here or there if you run across a problem. When a quilt top starts to form, though, it feels like a big commitment. 


I got out my step ladder and fiddled around with it. I took lots of pictures and recruited Mr. Pins for assistance. I'm happy with this layout, even though I did just go swap two blocks around on the design wall ;-)

Tomorrow I'll fill you in on the background. Pun intended!

Happy Crafting!

  1. Trying not to stress too much! I find once the quilt is together we stop seeing it as individual blocks but more of a complete top in all its beauty! It's going to be a wonderful quilt when you are finished!

  7. This is just so beautiful! This showed up in my Pinterest feed yesterday and I loved it so much I immediately made a block. It was so much fun! I joined the Flickr group and posted a pic of my first block, and I have the colors for my next block picked already.

    I will be going back and looking at your blocks for inspiration along the way. I just love the colors you chose. Beautiful work!!!!
