this wallhanging was STARTED on the day of Charles and Diana's wedding back in 1981. i got up early to watch the wedding and then spent most of the day at a quilting seminar at Stonehill College in North Easton, MA. i was working for a shop selling fabric and patterns. the vendor in the adjacent booth had some patterns and the feathered star caught my eye. being a novice quilter, i simply purchased some fabrics from the booth where i was working and started to sew right then and there, completely oblivious to things like bias edges and such. i chose these colors because amish quilts were my original passion. flash forward 30 years. just this morning i FINISHED the bottom wallhanging from some swap squares, again on the day of a royal wedding. how spooky is that?

Nice job, it is fun to look back.....I got up early today, not to watch the wedding but to get ready for a few more stops on the shop hop. This year I visited a total of 16, I am hoping to visit 20 next year or maybe all of them......I'll have to wait and see what the price of gas is by then.
ReplyDeleteThe feathered star is wonderful - one of my favourite blocks. I was watching the royal wedding, but I can't quilt and watch at the same time :)
