WIP Wednesday 9.4.2024

I worked more on the Single Scoop Ice Cream quilt. Truth be told...I did follow the paper piece pattern for the cone and side angles. Then I switched to traditional piecing for the remaining 7 scoops !

I added an inner white border.

I wanted to add an outer border of the diamond fabric but I didn't have enough. It's a pretty old print so buying more is not an option. :(  

I settled on a partial border with the strawberry pink print. Maybe not the best, but I am sorta liking it. This is as far as this one is going, into the suitcase for the trip to the Great Wisconsin Quilt Show!

pattern: Single Scoop

I had wanted to make this crumb star quilt that I found on Pinterest, awhile back.

But as sometimes happens, it morphed into a similar yet different quilt. 


I have given the above quilt away, so I wanted to re-visit the Staggered Star Quilt. I decided to make half red centers/blue legs and the other half blue centers/ red legs. This is my fabric draw, as you can see, I already had the crumb centers made.


Here are the parts for the blue centers/red legs.


The blocks.

That ice cream quilt pattern is adorable, Pat! I had some photorealistic fabric printed with ice cream scoops in my stash for years that would have been perfect for the alternate blocks, but I don't remember seeing it when I unpacked from my move. Anyway, your quilt is just delightful.

Your cones are cute as can be, and I like how you used the leftover diamond print in the corners. The star quilt will be a fun project, too. How perfect that you already had the centers made!

Nicely done on the ice cream quilt top! The crumb stars are beautiful--what a good project idea!

Oh I can totally see making that with traditional piecing! It is so sweet!! Your stars are looking spiffy too. What did you think of the WI quilt show? I didn't go this year.
