Just call me the finder of serendipity. When I finished the last round of this RR, I looked at my two pieces and really didn't have any idea where I'd go next. I didn't even like them all that much. But I'm not one to give up, so I just set them aside and waited for something to strike my fancy. Then the "directions" came out for the next step - "Serendipity." Huh? I had no idea what that meant as far as quilting went - until yesterday.
I was pretty tired after doing some water aerobics, and decided to quit sewing for a bit and take a nap. As I was cleaning up and putting some things aside, I had to pick up a stack of little wonky stars that I'd made several months ago as leaders and enders. Then about 15 minutes later, just as I was dropping off to sleep, it hit me. "Use those stars!" I'd been wondering what I'd do with them, and I realized I could use a bunch of them on these liberated pieces. I put them on the sides only - I think I'll start going rectangular on these instead of square.
I really like the addition of the stars....they're awesome!
ReplyDeleteYour story is a great one about the serendipity we can enjoy as quilters. Love how your project looks with the stars! You've got so many fun pieces within your quilts.
ReplyDeleteIt is grand!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the stars, I also love how they were little 'throw away' bits come together... I wish my throw away bits were fit for something other than to be thrown away!
