A crazy thing happened in my quilting life recently. I caught up and finished all of my deadline projects. I can't remember that ever happening before. It was both freeing and scary at the same time. With a lack of anything I had to do, I pulled a random UFO box off the shelf to see what was inside. This box was full of solid colored triangles in a variety of colors, plus lots of black triangles and squares.
This project is so very old I don't have a drawn out plan for it any more. I sort of remembered what I was trying to accomplish, but it was no longer what I wanted to do.
I laid all my pieces out so I could get an inventory of exactly what I had to work with. Then I "GASP!" threw some of the pieces away! Do you see that light blue fabric? It's very thin and flimsy. I trashed it.
I decided to mix up the remaining colorful triangles and randomly sew them to the black triangles.
I sewed them all together into Ohio Star blocks. This one is just black and blue, but most of them are multi colored.
I like this one ~ purples and pinks together.
Three of the blocks have a black center square, so they look like they have a large black diamond in the center. This is the blocks all sewn together into the quilt top. Now I'm trying to decide how to quilt it. I've been thinking about a new idea for an allover design I want to try with swirls and pebbles, but I'm not sure if that is right for this quilt. Do you have any quilting suggestions? Please leave me a comment below.
