Sparkling Stars......

Sparkling Stars is making its debut, binding done, label on.  I made the binding a little wider on this one as a design element.  A narrow binding wouldn't have been quite enough of the stripe.  This is number 5 of 14 that need to be finished by the end of May.
I checked my daffodils and I'm going to get a few blooms this year.  I guess I need to dig up the other batch and spread them out since they haven't bloomed for 2 years.

  1. Sometimes the bulbs just die off and don't bloom, but if the leaves come up you might need to thin out as you said. The quilt looks great. Chris

  9. Sparkling Stars is (searching for adjectives even close to adequate) . . . amazing, awesome, fantastic, gorgeous, stunning, beautiful . . . marvelous, dynamic . . . love the name, love the colors -- what a perfect example of your piecing and deisgn skill, your insight, and your attention to detail.

  16. Oh, Wanda, your Sparking Stars are wonderful! They just almost jump off the screen. The binding really sets them off, too. My daffodils are almost done now. But the iris are blooming.

  21. Your stars do sparkle. They're lovely. Good call on the wide binding. It indeed is a great complement to the design of the quilt.
    Deadlines are good and bad, aren't they? You're moving right along on your finishes.
