Red and White Star Quilt -
I made this quilt from about a 50 % blend of recycled and new fabrics. It is a queen size with a 100% cotton batting. And, the Dog - is my George.

Stars quilt -
I made a quilt from a pattern in the book "Material Objects 2" Here are some pics of how mine came out -
It took forever - and this drove me krazy
The angles in the corners drove me nuts. Im no math person - if you ever want to make a star quilt i say -- use a 40 degree diamond so - the angles will be easy.
60 degree diamond. -
Well, I guess a 60 degree diamond will make a 6 point star. I think I remember reading it - but, forgot. So, my star will have 6 points. Im thinking about doing an orange and yellow diamond pieced filler between the points. I cut some of them out using a tube cutting method. I'll have to see what happens. I got pretty pissed this afternoon. A call came in from some collection agency saying I owe this bill for cable? I dont watch TV -- and low and behold "Ive" had cable across town for a few months and never paid the bill. That was sorta the icing on the cake. I have had it for this week. ENOUGH>
Made some of these -
That messy table produced some good results! I got tired of making the blocks and took a 5 hours break -- then got really crazy and make 200 more of them! I got a Bonnie Hunter book - please visit her website for more scrap quilt pics and books and everything -- http://quiltville.blogspot.com/ -- I love recycled fabrics and scrap quilts and her quilts are crazy with pieces just the way I like! The quilt Im working on is a variation of her pattern she called sante fe star. I strip pieced the blocks that I could with long strings - and paper foundation pieced only a few pieces - My diamonds are also bigger than hers are and Im not going to use the flying geese boarder that she used. The star in the pic above is only a 6 point star - my final quilt will have 8 points and be 5 blocks long instead of the 3 pictured above.
