Diamonds and stripes
Or Stripes and Stripes
Very bold and wild. Not a one of them works for me. And after all that work to make the Lone Star center.

ReplyDeleteWOW! Happy New year!!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Great inspiration for making something that already pops! pop a bit more!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I love the 3D effect that the ones with mitered stripes have. The others, I sort of agree with Suzanne. At least the quilt makers took care to keep stripes from going every which way.
ReplyDeleteGail---I'd call that keeping the stripes going one way overcautious. I love the craziness.
