So much time have been spent in making this quilt. The template of the patches were taken from a book whose author was a Swiss lady. The fabric for the star was actually curtain remnants and I kind of imagine it as a project that would take plenty of time... As far as I can remember, it took me a couple of 2 summers to make this. But, I develop a method where I can patch the star quickly and that is to patch the rows one by one and as soon as the row is complete, patch it to another row. Sometimes, it´s difficult to patch exactly but I really tried my best to piece the edges exactly together, otherwise the star would not be symmetrical in its form... Somehow, I managed to complete the Star.
This Quilt travelled so far during its making. From Austria, this has reached Spain where we spent much of the cold months, fleeing away from cold central Europe. My dog, Ako the Rotti always went along with us wherever we went. And everytime I did the the quilting of this project , "Burli" as we fondly called our dog, would come and pressed his nose on my quilt and urged me to play stick throwing with him.
Til Next,
Mercy
