Moose Quilt Top...


I completed all of the star blocks

on the Moose Panel... 


At this point they are just stuck up

on the design wall around the moose...





I decided to use low volume fabrics

between the star blocks as a background...

The top border is stitched in place.




3 star borders are stitched in place...





The star borders are on...






This needs one final border...





A narrow lime border works best...





The Moose Quilt Top is complete...

Now to paw through the fabric cupboards

for backing fabrics.





Just below our house the Canada Geese 

enjoy grazing along with our goat herd...





This is a daily occurence...





The geese seem to like it and...

the goats don't seem to mind.

Moose Quilt...


This moose panel is my first project

in the New Year...


This is my first audition of fabrics...





The bull moose is actually purple...

I chose a light purple inner border

and the moose likes it.





Just for kicks I put a light green

border around as well...

nothing is sewn down yet.





I whittled down the auditioned fabrics

to include the greens and purples...





I decided against the two background fabrics

I originally auditioned and went with

these low volume fabrics...





I thought I would keep the color story simple...





I stitched together an 8 inch Sawtooth Star...





I thought it would be FUN

to put a 4 inch star in the center of the

 sawtooth...





Here is the double star cut out

on the design board...





I will alternate these two stars

around the border of the moose panel...





The 8 inch blocks seem size appropriate...





I am making more star blocks...

Full Speed Ahead !

















I will keep making stars

until the moose has had enough...





I left a double star all cut out

on the design board

just waiting for me to come back

and stitch it together...


More To Come !
