Stacked Stars is a quilt found in Casual Classic Quilts by Gerri Robinson of Planted Seed Designs. The appeal of this design comes from its use of traditional stars in a contemporary setting. I hoped by using only two main colors-blues and grays-I could create a look of timeless charm. Once I started piecing and laying out the blocks, I stepped back and took a look. Perhaps it needed some medium volume blue fabrics to achieve the effect I wanted. It worked for me to add two more fabrics to the mix...the second and third from the left in this photo. As the growing quilt top moved from the wall to the floor, I grew excited. Of course in my excitement, there was an oops. Do you see it? Now it is fixed and finished. Stacked Stars

I have spent the last month NOT sewing in my existing bedroom/sewing room to allow some extreme renewal...renewal involving wall and ceiling paint, new carpet, a larger ironing board cover, a design wall, and thanks to IKEA, a blonde cart and a black cabinet that go perfectly with an existing IKEA black and blonde table and black chair. (That long, long, long sentence illustrates the long, long, long time I went without sewing.) After new paint and carpet, I added a handy cart, and I welcomed a design wall that is actually a wall and not a "design bed" or a "design floor." I expanded my ironing surface by adding a quilter's ironing board. My new spacious quilt cabinet completes this space. I LOVE that I am back to work in this renewed and inspiring room!
