Found A Project I MUST Do!!

I was doing the monthly FABSHOPHOP and came across my next 'have to do' pattern. It was actually featured on cover of "Quiltmaker" Jan/Feb 2011 issue. "Jasmine Star"............

But here's the kicker, I am going to make it in Texas Bluebonnet fabrics!!!! What do you think? Will it be just as stunning?

Hummer - That's gorgeous!! I think it will be lovely in Texas Bluebonnets, and I'm confident that you'll choose just the right fabrics. That quilt has solid pinks and greens in it. What colors are you thinking to go with the bluebonnets?

Deep blues/greens/burgundy

that sounds wonderful.... hummer

That will be stunning! You should enter it in the rodeo competition when you get it done....not this year, but the following!!!!!

O Nancy, that would be fun!!

Hummerlou I added the photo for you, its beautiful, really stunning and to be honest i think Id prefer it done in blues and greens, bluebonnet fabric is a fantastic idea, Harris will love that, you could plan to print and frame two or three of his bluebonnet photos to hang on the wall over the bed when the quilt is made. Again, WOW, thats just beautiful and you will create a masterpiece without a doubt

That is beautiful Hummer. Wish I could piece well enough to think of doing something like that !

GC, thank you for posting the picture. Yes, DH's bluebonnet pictures would look wonderful with the quilt.

HP, you can piece. I wasn't very good at one time either, and I still have some problems, but you just have to keep at it, you know, practice, practice, practice.

I have a friend who entered one....I can get the info on how from her if you'd like! It will be beautiful!

All except the part about putting in the photo for you, I ditto everything Gympy said!!

That is a beauty. The colors you are thinking of sound wonderful, too.

will you post your fabrics when you get them???

Wow Louann, that is gorgeous. And what a fab idea to do it in Bluebonnets. I can just see it. Go for it, you will make a masterpiece I know. You will put the one in the magazine to shame.

My favorite colors; it will be beautiful!

That looks like fun.

Hummer have fun with that gorgeous pattern and all those HST can`t wait to see how yours turns out do you have a link to the fabric you will be using??

TMM, yes, I definitely would like to find out the 'ins and outs' of submitting a quilt at the show, Thanks.

Golo, yes, I can post the fabrics when I get them all together. I am going to try and use as much of my stash as possible.


I'm so glad you all like the idea! Never hurts to have encouragement from all of you.

this is exciting...

Ok, having problems deciding on all of my colors... so have been raiding my stash. Still trying to save some cash since DH is still unemployed. Here is the first 5 blocks of the center medallion. What do you think?

Oh, Hummerlou, I don't think you will ever be happy with these colors...so you should send it to me immediately!



Seriously, it is gorgeous. I love the colors. It will be one fabulous quilt.

Wow! Love the colors!

Beautiful! I'll find out what you need to do or have my friend contact you!
BTW...TimeTreasured Quilts is going out of business....has entire store on sale. Malcolmsen at Grant!

You got it girl it is just gorgeous, hope the mailman gets lost when you send this to Bearfoot and it comes my way instead...I love your focal fabric you chose and then your complimentary fabrics are just perfect, excellent values in the choices too...

wow you got lots done you really did want to make it!! LOL

That is pretty Hummer. Very bright, not at all what I was picturing. When you said Bluebonnets I was picturing a soft blue and green with a little lemon or mauve Never thought of red .How wrong was I !!!! LOL
