More Stars

 A few weeks ago I posted an image of the completed Gaudi Star quilt which is part of my Houston Exhibition. Here is a shot of my original inspiration from Parc Guell in Barcelona

I had quite a few hand printed hexagons left over so when I was invited to contribute a small quilt for the Silent Celebrity Auction in Houston I jumped at the chance to use up more of them

So I stitched them together by hand

Painted a Gaudi inspired star design over the top in transparent paints so that the gold opaque paint still showed through

Then quilted it using the hexagon designs as a starting point in a continuous line freemotion design.

Now faced and hanging sleeve attached - I am very pleased with it. Now I just have to hope there will be some bids on it in Houston.

BUT - now I didn't like the large exhibition quilt as the vast expanse of yellow had always worried me but I was too nervous to do anything about it when my deadlines have been so tight.

But I thought - what the heck and got out the paints again and attacked the yellow. I am so glad I did now and am much happier with it.
