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!
