Design Wall Monday - Woven Stars


There will be 9 of these 5" stars in Woven Stars - another Kim Diehl Simple Whatnots pattern.  This one was from last year but I really wanted to get it finished before starting the new one we got at Saturday's class.  I had begun cutting the pieces for it and then set it aside last year.  Shame on me, because this is one that I was excited to make! 

During class on Saturday one of the ladies talked about "giving herself permission" to throw away tiny scraps.  I kept thinking about that phrase and I may have to give myself permission to NOT make every single one of Kim Diehl's patterns. There were a couple of mini quilts in past years that are still in kit form because I just wanted a fan. Maybe it's OK if I don't make all of them.

  1. Nice job on the stars, and I'm sure you'll have all nine made soon. I really like this block and can envision it larger, too. I gave myself permission over the weekend to toss small balls of yarn. Yes, I "could" use them, but I really don't want to fuss with them.

  2. Love these stars! We do need to give ourselves permission to not complete something or change the path midway.

  4. LOL -- I have five of Kim Diehl's books and I haven't made a single one of her designs. Yet. [I splurge when Martingale has its annual warehouse sale with books $6 each.]
