Random Ohio Stars on the Frame

 I was so excited this week that the quilt room was clean enough to load a quilt onto the frame.


The pattern is called Random Ohio Stars.  I added an extra row to make the quilt wider than the original pattern.  You can find the Bonnie Hunter design on her blog, Quiltville's Quips & Snips here.

I would have loaded the quilt immediately after we cleaned the quilt room--that was the plan.  The snag in the plan was that I realized that I did not make a back for the quilt.  I think I originally made one, but it got  moved on to another project.  I normally don't put things in that bin unless they are seriously ready to be quilted.  Anywho... I spent Monday and Tuesday afternoons fussing and picking out what I would use for a back for this quilt and piecing it together.  Stay tuned... I didn't take a picture of it.

I started making star blocks in January of 2022 as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC22).

I really wanted to quilt the little blocks I found while cleaning the quilt room (someone else's WIP), but decided to load Random Ohio Stars instead because I didn't want to tear down the Circle Lord Swirls giant template board when I knew I would use it on this quilt.  It can wait a little longer...  Hopefully it will motivate me to finish quilting this.

Ohio stars are such a classic design. Have fun quilting it.

I feel your pain with the backing since I just went through that. I have several quilts I want to get quilted, but I only can quilt one at a time!
