Here are my first 9 blocks put together. I'm playing around with the layout of the blocks (although the downside of that is that the seams won't nest in the Birthday Girl Block). I also found a great layout by Forest Jane on the Facebook group that uses half the BGB's Bonnie's way and half turned in like mine, plus an alternate border. I've asked her to send me the EQ6 file so I can play with it some more.
My fabric choices are a mix of Civil War, Thimbleberries, and whatever I could find that I thought looked good with them. The neutral was changed to dark, chocolate brown and I used pinks instead of orange.
Sorry for the short post, I'm recovering from a chest cold and have to return to work today. I should've written this yesterday but it slipped my mind!

Love your stars they look like jewels.I will watch and see how you combine both layouts into one quilt. What does your quilt inspector say?
ReplyDeleteMy inspector is mad at me for bringing another kitty into the house, so she is on strike, LOL
DeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteWow, I like the black neutral; this is the first I've seen. It gives it a totally different flair. The stars look good too.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is gorgeous!! Love love love the dark neutral!
ReplyDeleteI love your colors! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe black is fabulous in the kaleidoscope.
ReplyDeleteWow--what a great color palette! Black for neutral was a smart idea. Really sets yours apart from the rest!
ReplyDeleteMy very favorite !! Very Striking and rich looking !!
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness! Your quilt is just lovely. The dark background and the fabrics you chose are so wonderful. It doesn't even seem like the same quilt as Bonnie made. You really think "outside the box". Good work!
ReplyDeleteI love this! OK. I am bummed I didn't do it now. :) Another year. I love how this came together though.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is wonderful! I think your color choices are terrific. One of your commentators said it looked like jewels and I agree!
