The first project of the day was to add a red star to the building block quilt. It's actually acquired a new name: "Made of Stars."
Most stars are considered red dwarfs. There are also brown dwarfs and blue dwarfs.
Unfortunately, the color of this red dwarf is off. Visualize it as a bluer red.
As I was stitching I realized that my favorite way to start a blanket is to sew together larger pieces of fabric to form a large cloth. So building a blanket with blocks of fabric is really how I'm creating...
It's based on my desire to not cut fabric any smaller than I have to.
One of my favorite things about making a blanket this way is that I can use it right away, but I can take as long as I want to embellish since it never has to be "done."
At least one star on this blanket is going to need to be exploding or radiating away from it's center.
And since just about any blanket/quilt could be started in the same way as "Made of Stars," I pieced together a lot of my blue velvet. A base for "Following Sea..."
