my version of prairie patches

it doesn't look exactly as jo morton's, but i am pretty satisfied with the color combo.  her recommendations were for darker fabrics, but i used what was in the stash and this is what i got.  i had some difficulty with machine piecing the 8-pt star center, but with practice that will improve.  i'll probably baste it and put the quilting on hold until next year or later this year.

  1. I rarely attempt the type of set-in seam that star calls for. I cheat and make them out of HSTs. I think this looks great regardless of what the designer suggested.
