This is the fourth challenge of Season 14 of Project Quilting.
I'm excited to join in the challenge - A Novel Project
My entry:
Vanishing Stars
this is the 10th year I'm participating.
Kim announces a challenge and you have one week to create something quilty.
Prizes can be won and it's a great way to meet new blogging friends.
The rule in this challenge is to be inspired by a book you have read.
It must include either applique, piecing, or have 3 layers stitched together by hand or machine.
I had just finished the book, "The Forest of Vanishing Stars", by Kristin Harmel when the challenge was announced. It seemed like the logical choice of books.
This is a historical fiction novel (my favorite kind of read)
about survival in World War II.
It's sooooo good. It's one that I just couldn't put down.
I've kind of developed a theme this year for the challenges of quilting tiny.
This was a tough one, as I wanted to do so many details, but in the end,
each tiny star is inspired by a part of the book.
2 1/2" finished blocks and then I added the center black and white star in the center. The black and white star is for a pivotal person/moment in the book.
You'll have to read it to see.
