Abstract Quilt called Three Stars.
Okay, you guys better be nice to me about this quilt. It’s doesn’t have a bird, deer or heart in. It’s a abstract. I love it and if you make fun of it I will find you and pinch you real hard.
I am thinking of doing more of these. It was so freeing. Just shapes and colors.
The only embroidery is around the stars. I outlined them with a black blanket stitch.
This quilt is made of cotton and it totally hand sewn including the quilting. It measures 20″ x 30″. You can get really good views of this quilt if you click on the images.
The shapes are based on doddles, and shapes I have found in hex signs.

I really like this very much. The colors, design and stitching all combine so well, it is fun and intriguing. Don’t stop making abstracts! Of course I don’t want you to stop any of the other things you do either, so perhaps you should give up sleeping.
Coming to your blog always gives me a little creative boost.

I particularly love the quilting! Successful abstraction can be much more difficult than realism. I’m a huge fan of ALL of your work! Please keep inspiring us through your beautiful work and generous spirit.

Its all hand sewn, I love that. The shapes and colours appeal to me. I’ve never made a quilt but your work just might make me make one. Thanks for being so inspiring.

Wonderful…I love the fact that it is so abstract. Very contempory version of the traditional star design. Love it!

Save your fingers ’cause this quilt is stunning! Love how you’ve taken a few colors and made them all POP due to their relationship to each other. Visiting via Spirit Cloth, another great blog.
