It's A Finish! and Lancaster Blue Stars

I finally finished a small Four Patch Medallion reproduction which I started in January. It's really the last of the small pieces I made earlier this year and quilted this summer. 

It's 20" x 20" with 1" squares.

 Center detail. 

The back. Hand quilted in cross-hatch with straight lines around the center medallion.

The original quilt is from the Ann Hermes Doll Quilt Collection and I first saw it on Pinterest. Ann has a wonderful blog Notes from the Quilt Lab and has recently published a book Pennsylvania Pillowcases and Other Small Treasures. I refer to her book often for ideas on color combinations when making stars. You can see it here. 

Lancaster Blue stars from last week. 

This shade of blue looks right to me . . . 

Two favorites.

Blue with white polka dots for the points. 

A double blue and a double pink :) Perfect together?

I have another small project in the works--Lori's Country Roads quiltalong. The first step is done--9 sets of red and blue four patches.

Happy Sewing!
