“Falling Star” by Kristin M

Kristin McCoy from Scrappy Happy Quilter. I am currently creating in Dickens,Tx. This week's challenge piece is called "Falling Star" 63 x63 rag lap quilt. I picked Fall as my inspiration. Fall it's my favorite season and I tend to desorate my house in warm earth colors. I've been saving a stash of orange fqs and fall fabrics...actually hoarding. Once this challenge posted, I knew it was time to use my hoard. I've made a few baby rag quilts and scarves and thought it's time I go big.

Then I decided to go big block. I picked a sisters choice block because it's a unique star design. I love when inspiration hits and in a matter of minutes  I was cutting and organizing.

After laying out the top I realized I didn't have enough orange for the back 49 squares so I came up with a second design for the back.

I enjoyed this week's challenge and can't wait for the next one.
I learn something new every week.
