LOVE it! One of these days, I'm going to have time to play with my homespun stash. I particularly like the scrappy, Rail Fence backgrounds for the stars.

Real cute Linda!

I love it! Off to get my homespun stash out and start planning.Thanks for the inspiration! Are the background blocks made out of homespun too? Yvonne

background blocks have some homespun, some gingham. I didn't have much in light colors.
Linda

Well I ABSOLUTELY love it. I have some homespuns and I've been thinking stars too -- of course I've not DONE anything about it yet. I just LOVE your quilt. I may have to sneak a copy of that picture for later inspiration. Adorable!

Really nice use of your homespuns. Did you applique all those stars? That must have been a challenge using homespn material. I like the pattern and the boarder is just right. Jayne

I think it's is a beautiful quilt.It has just the right look-cozy and warm. I can imagine someone snuggling down under it on cold winter nights. I really like the way you put it together.You did a great job.

I love it and am also a lover of homespuns.

I'd like to find a bolt or 2 of the second one up from the bottom,on the left side(red/tan) I want to make curtains for my kitchen and dining room from it,and need extras for table runners etc.So far havn't been able to locate it.Found a little at wal mart,but they couldn't find anymore for me.Kathi

Linda, Thank you for posting!!!! I was given some FQ bundles of homespuns and wondered what I was going to do with them. Plus, it will include my new found love of applique! How large did you make the blocks?

Great inspiration!!!!

Linda,
It is sooo cute! I love it!

I love it too!!!! I never would have thought of homespuns in that pattern.
I think I need to start drinking coffee.

These are 6" finished blocks, on a rail fence background which is three strips 2" wide finished. You could do a solid single piece background and make any shape of star (or other) you wanted. It is hand applique for the star. It works well for watching TV being small blocks. Homespuns are very soft and easy to stitch. I ironed down the seam allowances and used spray startch so needle turn was easier. Stars don't have to be perfect anyway. It's all straight edges and points can be blunt if that's easiest for you.

Coffee or wine optional. Go for it!
Linda

Linda, that's wonderful! The rail fence behind the stars is a great look. Are the other "quiltlets" also going to be of homespun? (can I send you some?)

Cheryl

That is absolutely charming. I don't have any homespuns either but may have to rethink that decision.

I really love it too. It just gives me a nice feeling looking at it. IÂm also saving a copy of your pic for inspiration. I love the rail fence behind the stars. Great job!

Nina

Beautiful! Homespun has a great cozy and warm look to it.
One question: When I was a kid and my grandmother spoke of "homespun," she meant a sort of loose-weave woolen material. This isn't that, is it? What is it that makes homespun quilt material a homespun?
