It's been a fun challenge to see what I could do with this stack of fabrics! I love the results... it's definitely a quilt that's all "me".

I really loved the design of this vintage quilt, so I drew it out on some graph paper and went to work cutting fabrics. I must really like quilts that have a graphic design to them. For some reason, the order and pattern of them really appeal to me. Kona white and charcoal are the two solid fabrics I chose to add.
Here's the progress of sewing the quilt - in pictures...
I like how the design makes "squished" star shapes! It measures 72" x 64".
This pattern also uses very little printed fabric. I only cut 3 - 2.5"x22" strips from each of the fat quarters! There's a lot left over for other projects.
I'm trying to find the right backing for it now. I would really like to use flannel, it's so soft and I think would be nice and warm for the fall and winter.
Jennifer... what did you come up with?

Love it! I think I might use this design to use up some of my left over Jelly Rolls strips. Thanks for the inspiration!
Gorgeous! Officially one of my new favorites!
this is amazing...i think you took this challenge and rocked it!
Stunning! I am so inspired! Thanks so much for sharing your process.
ROFL!!!!! I skimmed the pictures and thought, "that looks like my quilt"! Then I went back and read the post more carefully, clicking on the link to see, my quilt!!! I have always intended to make this pattern. What are the odds when I have a whole yard stack of the same fabrics? I started design for my henna garden quilt. We will see!
Blessings,

Wow. This is visually stunning!

I love this quilt. How did you com up with using black???
Wow, I love this! The combination of the bold contrast (charcoal & white) and the more subtle contrast with the prints. It's a perfect contrast :o) And, I too love the squished stars it creates...great job!!
looking good Jessica! This quilt top is absolutely gorgeous. xx
Such a beautiful pattern, and your choice of colors totally accentuates it.
