While I have been busy working on other projects, my
Kentucky Stars sneaked in and got worked on too.
The top is done .... except for one circle in the star flower. That circle was lost months ago. Lo and behold, didn't I find the circle last night while sitting at my computer on the sofa in the living room. I thought my pen was lost in between the sofa cushions and while searching for the pen, the circle was found. How in the world did it get there? No sewing is done in the living room and my studio is on the lower level of our home. The circle must have attached itself to my clothing and made it's way upstairs. So, now, instead of making another circle, I can just use that one. Yeah.
My garage quilting friends suggested outline embroidery around the cream stars to give it oomph. I took their advice and it does make a difference.
When I pan out you can see progress with my split apple core. All those pieces are sewn together.
On my other design wall, this is what remains to be sewn together. Oh yes, how lucky am I to have two design walls!
I tried to be so careful not to place same fabrics close together. Darn, didn't these two yellow fabrics have to be discovered after they were all sewn together. The right hand apple core will get unsewn and replaced with a different selection. It might not really be necessary because the whole look is so busy, but the yellow pops and I know they are there.
Then, another two were found. These two might be left there because they are hard to find once I step back and look.
I've been marking the completed sections for quilting. Might as well get a head start on that task and be ready for sandwiching as soon as the top is completed.
A number of comments have been left on my posts on how clever I am to make a split apple core. Not my idea. A quilt was found on Pinterest and I just had to make one too.
