Flying Squares quilt |
The border is a block named Crazy Ann (which seemed very appropriate!) The windmill effect of the stars adds to the sense of flying.
There's an inner border of muslin and two-inch squares to maintain the floating effect of the blocks. But that meant the corner blocks had to be slightly elongated. I drafted those on graph paper. Sorry, the sketch is now lost.
This is still one of my favorite quilts. I love the vintage feel of pastel-to-medium prints on muslin and the parallel line quilting.
Enjoy the day. Ann

Oh Ann, it's now one of my favorites too! I really love your Crazy Ann (LOL) border! The way you used color makes it twinkle!
Thanks, Lara. I've always been pleased with the way the border changes from light muslin through medium and then dark blue. I wasn't sure so much change would work in such a narrow width but it was fine. An oldie but goodie.
WOW! I just Love this quilt!! It is gorgeous. And really does twinkle.
It's always been one of my favorites, too. I'm so glad you like it. Thanks for writing.
