Hot color quilt tops

Yesterday’s commitments were postponed because it was only 3 degrees outside, so I turned on the little space heater in my studio, popped in a movie, and went to work. I had so much fun pulling out hot colors! What a way to warm up. This first quilt top is all the colors I hardly ever use. I love how bright and vivid it is!

For the second top, I put the top colors on top of very dark blues. One thing I learned: If you are going to purposely make wonky stars, don’t just do it a little, do it a lot. I think I should have tilted the squares more and made it really obvious when I cut of the star tips. When it’s only done half-heartedly, it just looks accidental and sloppy.
