Coffin Star....

I began working with this block a while ago...
you have to look past the name and just take in how sweet and simple....

   
when I brought home Chicopee, I knew Coffin Star and Chicopee would look terrific together.

Chicopee is a Denyse Schmidt fabric.  I love her fabrics...she is one of my very favorite fabric designers...her designs are always my go-to fabrics.  Even though I am not sure her Greenfield Hill line was a big hit. I LOVE IT!

Today I have been trying to put together a few projects started but not finished....
Coffin Star is one...
It began like this....


I thought it needed something in the negative space...
so I filled the four corners with hourglass triangles...

 
I like it.  I like the traditional look of it.


It should be fun to quilt!

 
As I was cleaning out drawers this week, I came across this picture of my mom.  Hard to believe she has been gone only 6 months. She would have been 81 today.  What a beautiful person.


 Cheers!

Chicopee

Our shoppe recently received several bolts of Denyse Schmidt's new line Chicopee!
 
Chicopee fat quarter bundle
 
Very vintage and totally Denyse Schmidt...I really love it.
this line lends itself to traditional blocks
so I played with a great little traditional block...
 
 
the name is a bit creepy...but I love the simplicity of this block...
The Coffin Star
 
 
happy thursday!
