I am trying to figure out whether to stop at 9 blocks or make 3 more and end up with a rectangular quilt, which I think would be more useful. I could definitely make a brown star, and probably one with lighter neutrals (tan/beige/gold), but I don't know what to use for a twelfth color. Any suggestions? I would like to get this quilt top finished before the end of the year instead of ending up with another UFO stuffed into a box while I wait for inspiration to strike!

looks fantastic! for another star: what about a low volume star, with the black background?
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely so far. I totally hear you on work sapping your energy. I hate it when that happens. If you add another row, you could try some of the colors you already have on the other background, for example, red on white or aqua on black. That could blend very nicely with what you already have.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree about rectangular quilts. I like the idea of brown and light neutrals. What about a light blue, dark burgundy red or peachy orange for the last block?
ReplyDeleteJulie, this quilt is absolutely beautiful, for another colour how about a indigo/purple, closer to blue than the violet purple.
ReplyDeleteI too prefer a rectangular quilt. So much nicer to cuddle up under. I also think a low volume colour star would help to balance the bright colours in the others.
ReplyDeleteYou have covered red, Orange, yellow, green, blue,and violet. So now you need an indigo or dark blue purples.
ReplyDeleteHow about one white star ? I think your quilt is going to be spectacular. My Grand'mere's maiden name was LeMoine (pronounced LeMoyne)--maybe I should attempt one...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteWonderful blocks! They will make a spectacular quilt whether it's square or rectangle.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the long hours and fighting a cold! I like rectangular quilts. Looks like you've got a lot of good suggestions for colors to add. Good thing as I would have no clue!
ReplyDeleteBTW, love it so far.
It seems to be that time of year for sneezing and long work days. Hope this next week goes more smoothly. I like Soscrappy suggestions for that third block. Which ever way you go it's going to be another beauty.
