It was a beautiful day with no wind yesterday. It was only about 50 degrees but with the sun shining and no wind it felt warmer. I started my brush pile on the end of the driveway for the first pick up of the season on Monday.

Negative space.......

I like your stars. They look so crisp. Getting the smaller quilt quilted is a good feeling I'm sure. Chris
It looks like it would hold 5 diamonds, with 4 laying on their sides and 1 standing straight on its point in the middle. Lots of Y seams though. It would be easier to use triangles. (don't you love my description of placement?)
I was thinking something simpler but similar to what Jean mentioned.
One pieced diamond in the bigger shape "bordered" with a solid to echo a solid in the diamond in the other open space.
I think it would be very eyecatching.
I think this would make a stunning table runner or even a wall hanging for a narrow space.
Yep! a table runner would be nice.Vera.
Stunning stars (who would guess they came from leftover cut-offs?!?)
Simple setting to let them shine sounds like a good plan!!
I like the idea of the stars in a row, making a tablerunner...but I can see that playing with the shapes, adding the "math" might be more intriguing (for those of us who like math, that is)....:(
Looks like it'll be a beautiful day today here! I need to get out and start the arduous task of raking leaves.
Fabulous stars! It depends how many you want to make, but if you 'slipped' one column down half a place, I think that you'd get a hexagon in the negative space, wouldn't you?
Bet you have fun trying whatever layouts you think of!
Wonderful stars! I see an elongated hexagon in that negative space. Making your own paper template to sew into that space seems the easiest solution to me, just mho. But then I see hexies everywhere. I invite you to link to HExie Weekend (closes Monday, midnight) to share your lovely diamonds.
Love your stars. So colorful.
Wow...what fun. I would have foolishly tossed the cutaways.
Like those stars! It will be interesting to see the different layouts you do. And I think spring is finally here! Yeah! Am looking forward to opening my windows and letting some fresh air in.
Goodness those stars are stunning.
I love the stars. I finished two table runner tops this weekend. I will start out Monday quilting them!
Your wonky square quilts are really growing on me - which probably isn't at all bad, as I have a pretty large basket of random wonky strips.
Now, if only I didn't already have a whole bunch of projects on my list of things to complete/to do, I could jump right into these inspirations I get from you, the minute I feel so moved!
You have been so busy= such beautiful colours. I am not good at picking all those colours...so admire it greatly in those that choose them :)
having some low volume fill that negative space would look pretty nice. good luck deciding what and how to handle that.
Whatever you do come up with these ingenious stars, I KNOW it will be wonderful......as is everything else you make!
