I tried using different fabrics for the pieces like the pattern-

but I don't think I had enough strongly contrasting colours.
I thought mine looked chaotic. I didn't add borders because I thought that would "soothe" it, and I wanted to just keep the chaotic look.
I machine quilted continuous curves in the stars.
I like how the half square triangles that weren't quilted pop out.
I used silk batting and quilted it with Bottom Line thread - a 60Wt polyester thread. It is 12" square.
I pinned a ribbon on the back and hung it on an old rake with the EQ BOM quilt.
These small quilts are so much fun to make - thanks Kathy (A Sentimental Quilter).
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!❤

Great quilt.
I love the fabric placement in the center - well done!
Very nice, Joanne.
Gorgeous!! Not chaotic at all. Looks just like a little reproduction quilt should!! LOVE it. Perfect quilting too.
Darling! And, only 12 inches. You have amazing piecing skills.
I really like it!! A beautiful small quilt.

I like when quilts turn out like this....it draws you in to see the quilt
the fabric you used in the center block was great, it shows the viewer what the block is....
thanks for sharing
