fevered chained stars

Jun 04, 2008 4 Replies

OK I have hit the bouncing fever stage of this infection (yay! that means it is almost over!). When I run a fever I tend to start drawing quilts.



After spending a couple of hours trying to work out how to piece trees with wisteria vines climbing them, I settled into playing with something a little less insane making. That being overlaying seven sisters onto jack's chain.



Now surely someone somewhere has done this before. In my head I am calling it Jack's Chained Sisters. It is really sort of an obvious design once you get going drawing it. Big star in the middle, six little ones where the nine patches usually go. Just for fun I am drawing the stars interlaced (in themselves, not together, though that is a thought for another quilt).



The pattern is so obvious that I am wondering what it might be really called. For as I said, surely someone has done this before.



Any clues?

is a 12-sided block, while 7 Sisters is a hexagon. But you're right, it would be very cool to do e.g. an Ohio Star instead of the 9-patch. Haven't seen it! You're a genius! (Take 2 aspirin and call us in the morning.)Roberta in D

Nightmist, I for one would love to see you make it. I can see it in my head, sort of. But I have no earthly idea how you'd go about piecing it. Love that appliqu=E9! LOL Seriously, those of you who can sort out piecing and make it happen are my personal heroes. Go piecers, go!!

(but watch out for that fever and if it doesn't go away and stay, get thyself to a doctor!)

I took two asprin and then went to sleep for around 12 hours. Then I took another two and slept again until about a half an hour ago. Now I am trying to rehydrate!
