I have been doing a little bit on the Little Sister quilt between other projects. So far the centee is finished, 8 of the 16 4" stars and 2 of the 4 corner flower blocks. The side applique is completed, and now I have to think about the border. I have drawn the feathers, but just need to think about the placement. It is a bit hard to get a full picture of the quilt as my house is so cluttered and it is a big quilt. Don;t know how I will be when it is all finished and I am ready to wash and block. Might have to borrow someone elses house!
None of the stars or corners are sewn in place, I have just placed them where they will be in order to get an idea of the final result.
I have been in touch with the
Smithsonian Museum who own the original quilt, with a view to creating the pattern once I have finished. I have not heard anything back from them, so don;t hold your breath if you are thinking of getting a copy for yourself. My plan is to have it all completed for the Adelaide Quilt show in November this year. I need deadlines, or it will just languish.
Wendy, it is spectacular! I hope you can get permission from the Smithsonian to produce a pattern. I am sure you will earn a ribbon for this beauty at Adelaide.
