::the oldest daughter:: star quilt in progress

Well, here's the latest... which doesn't feel like a whole lot of progress. I do have all of my star blocks complete. I have all my four patches complete. I almost have all of my sashing cut out. The best news is that I still love how the quilt looks... it will be fun to see it actually come together. You can also see over there on the side, I started working on a quilt for my sister-in-law, Lindsey, who's having her first baby this fall. It'll be more of a modern design... translation: no pattern. I had Chad call her sister and found out that the baby's room is going to be pink and brown, so hopefully this fits in all right.
I ran out of white (I'm using Kona cotton in Snow...) so I went to the hardware store to get some more... (??? I know, funny, huh?) and I bought 2 more yards of Kona Snow... when I got it home, it looks different, darker! I was so bummed because I was afraid I'd never get to match it, but I think I'm kind of over it. I'll probably be the only one who ever even notices it.

Am so proud of you - are you going to attempt to "quilt" or are you just going to "sew" quilt tops?
I love your creativity - I'm strictly a pattern person but wish I could be more original like you.
Keep up the good work!!
