I made this quilt top about 1.5 years ago. It is my first ever, my "learner" project. Nobody told me that triangles are hard, but I found that out all by myself. And no one told me to start small, but I found that out all by myself, too.

It was supposed to be a scrappy look, but I didn't like how it looked, so chose a red, white, blue palette.

So I took it out of hiding (in my closet) to see how much my skills have progressed since then. And I noticed something that I had not noticed when I was piecing it...(drumroll) In addition to pinwheels and hourglasses, there are stars! Depending on how you look at it, the dark reds or the dark blues make stars!

And it looks much better to me now that some time has passed and I can't remember where all the mistakes are.

The passage of time has allowed me to enjoy it. :-D

Glad you brought this out of the closet to show to us! I like the colors and the secondary patterns that you discovered.

Looks good to me. Finish it, it's too nice to waste in a closet.

Wow that is a pretty quilt! And I don't see any mistakes! Gives me hope for a couple of UFO's hidden in my closet!

That is so pretty. Can you please tell me the name of the pattern? I am glad you decided to pull that out of the closet. it is too pretty to be locked away. I think you should finish it and either give it away or keep it for yourself. Great Job.
