Laying the Foundation

2ndstory I am finally getting back to a project I started cutting out a few months back.  I'm making a Miss Rosie's pattern called 2nd Story, using a fat quarter bundle of the fabulous Blackbird Designs' Beach House fabrics.


There are 4 different star blocks and many ways to put them together, so this is certainly not a speed piecing project, but it's also been very enjoyable experimenting and putting the combinations of fabrics together.

  1. Very, very pretty. I love that fabric line but have yet to buy any. I better get to it before it's gone. Can't wait to see the finish! Nancy in WI

  2. That is the kind of project that you can just sink yourself into and enjoy every minute. Nothing rushed, everything thoughtfully considered--my favorite kind of pattern. Your fabric selection and color combinations are terrific.

  5. Fun - the best kind of project where you just take your time! Love the fabrics, Lisa! And it's gonna start heating up again - the better to stay indoors in front of the fan and piece away!
    Cheers!

  8. OOh, this is my kind of quilt. I'm a sucker for anything with stars. I'll tell you, until I started lurking on your and Nicole's blogs, I had never even heard of Miss Rosie, and now I see why you all love her so dearly. This is such a soft romantic quilt. I like that coral red color quite a bit.

  10. Dagnabit... now I'm going to need to go see if I can hunt down more of that fabric. I think it is one of those collections that I loved when I saw it, but I'm loving it even more with everything I see made from it. And your quilt is going to be gorgeous! Have fun with the stars!
