This will be another quilt that starts using a pattern in Modern Quilter, by designer Lynn Goldsworthy. I like her designs very much. I made changes, based on my use of (mostly) upcycled fabrics. One major change, the original design has a lot of background in cream colors, wide areas of fabrics. Mine will have patchwork background, mainly greys and minimalist patterns on white.
The changes have taken quite a bit of trial and error on paper, but I think I have it.
Here are the shirt fabrics, curated, washed, starched, pressed, cut at the seams.
The reds are mostly a deep color, sort of ox-blood, or burgundy. One is light, sort of mauve.
This is a preview of the star pattern, minus one point.
I could do a few things to fill in the missing point. Such as, repeat a fabric, vs. buy something at the fabric store, vs. continue shopping for shirts to upcycle. One point is the reverse side of another, I could try that. I decided not to be a purist, and ordered a yard of a deep red Indonesian Batik on Amazon. That will add a little something extra, if I actually use it.
The original pattern was published as a supplement in Today's Quilter, Issue 75. The complete link seems to be broken.
