Stars Over the Mountain
More Simply Charming.
This time I dug deeper into my scraps.
I even pulled some 1999- ish Thimbleberries I had been hoarding.
I tried in vain to find an acrylic template for this project is but it is slightly narrower than the 60 degree rulers that I have.
I decided to use my Marti Mitchel Strippers 60 degree template instead of making one from template plastic. That way I just cut the triangles from 2.5 inch strips or jelly roll strips.
As far as I'm concerned...it's really close enough.
The best thing it that it works too!
ReplyDeletethat is going to be a nice looking scrap quilt - I will have to remember this one.

Love this design. I ahve always been partial to triangles and stars.
ReplyDelete1999ish..you are so cute. I use 1940ish and 1950ish!! that I have been hoarding. And yes they are still usable they haven't just rotted away! So showing my age. for a template, if you go to a glass place they might be able to make you an acrylic one. My hubby made mine for my apple core quilt and I have a few for triangles.

This scrap quilt is marvelous. I am really into 90s stuff and this looks just great. You really did a great job using older stuff and giving your scrap quilt this old school look.This is precisely what I like, and am trying to do at home.
