Sew Many Projects, So Little Time

Kris

I love the design and I love that line of fabric.  I have looked at it several times.  But for some reason I find the white to be a little over powering...its the first thing my eye goes to and I have trouble moving on....It is probably just me.

I love the design - only comment I would make is that the little friendship star you are puttin in the middle - you might have it tilt to the right on the left side and to the left on the right side - or vice versa - only reason i say this is you have tilted the stars going around the block.

Then the big stars you have tilting away from each other on the 1st row

to the left on row 2 - those are good - I would change then next 2 rows to coincide with that...

tilt them to the right on row 3 and away from each other on the last row.

Whichever way you tilt the little stars in the center - do that with the big stars on the bottom and top rows.

Frienship star is one of my favorite of the star patterns... awesome job!  I know i am going to see your name soon on a pattern in a magazine.

Kris - i just noticed something - did you mean to have all the stars tipping the same direction from the top left to the bottom right - I do like that - doesn't work with tilting the center stars different directions...

I think if you like it that way then tip the stars going the other direction in the opposite direction to offset them...

You probably tried all these things i am saying already...lol

I think my eyes are crossing as I see what you were doing!  

Kris,

to me it looks perfect.  Very nice.

Kris, I like the the different tilt of the stars. I think it will be too regimental if they all go the same way. I thought maybe a couple more of the big stars should lean to the right, but I've decided, now, not. I really do like this one!

I also think it looks great Kris, But my girls tell me i have no taste. LOL but i still think its very pretty.

Kris--

I think your starry night quilt is absolutely perfect.  Don't overthink it!  I know how you feel though, because I do exactly the same thing.  Sometimes we just have to let our instinct guide us and let go.

Hi Kris,

I like the design.  I saw the small stars turned one way on one diagonal and reversed on the other diagonal.  I think because there are so many of them, it works well.  

Since there are less large stars, it would be less distracting to have all of them oriented the same way on the quilt.  

My eyes also seem to stay on the light lavendar (white-looking fabric)  and toning it down as you said may help.

I think this would be a fun quilt to make for Quilts of Valor.

Kris, I think the design is great. Is the white appearing fabric Snowdrift or Orbit? I checked them out on the CT website and They have much more color than is appearing here. It'll be beautiful. The fabrics are so much prettier in real life than the computer can show, can't wait to see it.  

kris,  i like the pattern.   i also like the stars pointing different directions it keeps my eyes moving around the  quilt more.  i think if the stars were all pointing the same way, the white would be more distacting.  the white is  little distracting if your focus is the stars,  but i think they are a nice design element in the overall quilt.   what do you like?      gini

kris,  i went back and looked  at it again,  i like the white.  maybe you could do more quilting in the white areas to reduce the effect.  gini

I Love It   am very impressed!  I not sure I am in the same class as the rest of you!  Don't know what EQ is or what you do with it.  I do very simple hand quilting and I think like everyone else have several UFO's.  Any way I Love It.  you are very talented.

I think you did a beautiful job!!!  I love the blues.  Step "outside the box" and relax.

i really like your quilt design just the way it is.  My only wish is that your talent could rub onto me. When i do a quilt i do it exactly the way it is suppose to be. I do have a program that lets me play with designs and after seeing some of the quilts here, i might just get into designing myself.  

I really like your pattern.  I agree that if your stars tilt to the right in row 1 they should tilt to the left in row 2.  I think this gives your stars motion.  For the smaller ones I like the fact that they point to the corner of each of the blocs.  That gives a totally different movement, like twinkling stars.  Love the blues.

it makes a wonderful "quilt of valor",  It appers as if it were 3-D.  I love the design.  Do you mind if I use it for a "quilt of valor" for a soldier.

I am no professional but I personally like the quilt as is.  The great thing about quilting is it is yours and doesn't have to conform to anyone else's opinion unless of course you plan to enter in an exhibit. I love it and wish you all the luck in the world with it.  I can assure you that whoever receives it will love it no matter what!
