Here is another quilt inspired by the Mary Ellen Hopkins Connecting Up series of books. The elongated star is in more than one book. I used all batiks in this one and it is orange and purple. It was hard to get a picture to read the colors that way I think they look in real life. This is pretty close. This one measures 32-1/2" x 38-1/2".
Here is a detail of some of the fabrics and the quilting.
It is 33 degrees (brrr) and sunny this morning. I hope to stay home all day today. My parents and I did the grocery shopping yesterday after my mother's foot dr. appointment and lunch. We have tried to stay on a schedule for groceries always on Tuesday and it was really hard to get my mother to believe that she could get a grocery list made by Monday. She will be 89 on Dec. 4th and my parents have been married 70-1/2 years. It isn't easy watching them wobble along, wondering if they are going to fall and hurt themselves. But then it wasn't easy watching the 2 kids wobble around and fall when they were little either!
