celestial map

found in the Great Pile of Stuff...
Melissa's map of a Second Saturday Sampler from the Quilters Studio (a Longmont quilt shop that closed more than ten years ago  - i miss those saturday mornings) ... she pieced the blocks that were provided by the shop, and started another set with stash fabric ... it seems that she lost interest after the first 21 blocks, so the map was shortened to five rows of four...
they will  be 9 inches finished ... gonna need some sashing and corner stones cuz 36 x 45 inches overall is kinda small...
and i think the layout is gonna need some tweaking ... there's a pizza box of stash fabric that will have to be used for any additions to this cuz we have a new (old) rule - no new fabric if there's stash that will work 

i don't like the new rule

  1. Hah - the same rule applies here too - or mostly does sez I, who just ordered some new fabric just yesterday. In my defense it will be used to make Christmas gifts - I have a yen to make some aprons and matching oven mitts and there's also a piece that will turn into a dress for our little grandie as well as a small piece that will 'go with' some fabric I have to make a special tote bag for a friend.
    Peeing in the sink - snicker.

  2. That will be an interesting challenge....I'm not sure I could live with that rule...though it is a good idea.
