Hello Everyone,
Yay, the borders are on! All two of them plus the flange.
The little yellow flange is only 1/2"....and it packs a punch.
I cut the borders to finish at 8" because I want to quilt "plate" feathers in that space. I'm also doing it to drive myself crazy, because plate feathers take me a fair bit of time to quilt. I quilted them on my Country Sunshine and Heartfire quilts and I love them.
I was contacted at the beginning of the week by a designer who told me she already designed a quilt called Red Sky at Night. I immediately said I would change the name of my quilt. I did a search on the Internet and discovered there are many quilt designs called Red Sky(s) at Night.....but I couldn't find the quilt of the designer who brought it to my attention. Come to find out, she had named her quilt Red Stars at Night.
Yesterday, Mr. Joe said I should name it Country Starburst, which I thought was perfect! After searching the Internet, I found there are a lot of Country Starburst quilt designs. So it is time to have a contest to name this quilt. You have between now and Monday 2/17/20 to give this quilt a name. In the comment section, tell me your thought on the perfect name. Or send me an email at sewnwildoaks@gmail.com with your idea. Mr. Joe, Mazey, and I will select the winner. Your prize will be any Sew'n Wild Oaks pattern of your choice. I will announce the winner of the contest on Tuesday, 2/18/20. Good luck and get those creative juices flowing. My creative juices have all but dried up!
Soon,
Lynn
those feathers will take a lot of time but are so pretty in the end. I will see if I can come up with a name for the quilt - I hope others can help - I'm not too good with coming up with names for my quilts at times
ReplyDeleteI know it is hard to come up with a name. Sometimes I know if right away.....most of the time I don't! --Lynn
DeleteSailors's Delight.....as in "Red sky in the morning, sailer's take warning, red sky at night, sailor's delight." lindamae1022@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThank you for your suggestion.
DeleteSailors' Delight was my first thought and for the same reasons.
DeleteBeautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteI would name it - Path Amid the Stars
or Path Amongst the Stars
I'm never going to be able to decide on a name! All good so far.
DeleteFireside Sky or Fireside Skies. My first thought was Fireside Stars but it too is taken.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be much harder than I thought to pick a name. Good ones!
Delete'Wandering Through the Stars'?
ReplyDeleteAnother good one!
DeleteIt's very pretty - how does "Twinkle, Twinkle" sound?
ReplyDeleteMary
Seeing Red
ReplyDeleteWell Candy...I don't want to be mad. But there is a ton of red fabric in this quilt.
Delete"Starlit Barn Dance"
ReplyDeleteNancy’s Stars
ReplyDeleteMaybe Red Dawn. I don't see why it matters that more than one quilt has the same name. I've seen it done many times. Especially when the other quilt is called Red Stars instead of Red Sky. You should name it whatever your want.
ReplyDelete"Red, Red, Gold"
ReplyDeletePoem by Wilfrid Scawen Blunt:
Red, red gold, a kingdom's ransom, child,
To weave thy yellow hair she bade them spin.
At early dawn the gossamer spiders toiled,
And wove the sunrise in.
She took the treasures of the deep blue noon,
She took the clear eyes of the morning star,
The pale-faced lilies of a seven-days moon,
The dust of Phoebus' car.
She painted thee with dewdrops from the flowers,
Stained with their petals, hyacinth and rose,
And violets all wet with April showers
And snowdrops from the snows.
(Phoebus is another name for Apollo)
Wow Paula! I'm not familiar with that poem. How about Woven Sunrise?
DeleteLike!
DeleteIDK, I thought that your original choice was the Perfect name for this quilt. I like how you linked it to the sky at night. To me, the word ‘country’ is used non verbally with this beautiful quilt. So to me, I like Red Sunset. Good luck with finding a perfect name for your perfect quilt. Which by the way, is my favorite one of yours so far. (and I have_had two favorites one so far). 😆
ReplyDeleteLike QuiltGram I was thinking of a red sunset. I thought your choice was good as well. So I'm offering up Stars in the Red Sunset. Or Stars in a Fiery Sky. This is such a beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteI will NEVER be able to decide on a name. I like almost all of them so far.
DeleteHere are my two cents!
ReplyDeleteCharming in Carmine
-OR-
Sunset River Stars
I really like Sunset River Stars!
DeleteI like "Woven Sunrise" Lynn. It is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMelody of Stars
ReplyDeleteFran
Good one Fran!
DeleteI have nothing to offer but GORGEOUS!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you Chris!
DeleteRed Sky Delight or Night Sky Delight. I really love how it came out!
ReplyDeleteI suggest Renaissance Stars. It is a very regal and elegant quilt to me. Almost medieval looking. Carol on Texasm
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting. I hadn't thought of that.
DeleteBeautiful. Reminds me of “Sunrise Special”
ReplyDeleteI like Woven Sunrise but are there stars when the sun rises? Also, any reference to red limits another quilt in different colors. How about Stellar Stars? Or Wild Stellar Stars. 😉
ReplyDeleteHow about "Fire in the Sky"
ReplyDeleteI'm SO not good at this game but here I go: Crimson Constellation, Scarlett Constellation (or Claret?), Country Constellation, Constellation in Crimson (etc), Vintage Constellation, Paisley Path/Stars....that's all I got. I think my head hurts now. (Not sure why I got stuck on constellation, other than it's more unique than "stars"?) . Good luck. The right name is out there somewhere. It's a beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteCrimson Dawn? Scarlet Twinkles? Brilliant Dawn? (had to go with something other than night.) :D River of Stars?
ReplyDeleteSierra stars
ReplyDeleteHow about Starry Path (s) (way) or Starcrossed Path
ReplyDeleteI am partial to "Starpath". We had a sailboat with that name many year's ago Or I should say, many boats ago!).
ReplyDeleteThere are so many good ones listed. Boy are you going to have a hard time picking one. Go Mazey, you'll pick the winner!
ReplyDeleteSuch a hard thing to do.
ReplyDeleteSunrise at Dawn is my suggestion.
How about Twinkle Twinkle Twilight?
ReplyDeleteIt sorta reminds me of a box of cherry chocolates, but I suppose that's already taken as well.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is absolutely beautiful! Good luck selecting a name.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful it is regal!
ReplyDeleteMazey's Regal Stars
....Atleast I'm guaranteed four paw votes for this suggestion.
She's laying on her back waving her paws in the air right now Madeleine!
DeleteI like Sailor’s Delight or Firelight. It’s really a beautiful quilt whatever you name it.
ReplyDeleteHow about Star Kissed?
ReplyDeleteCherry Tapioca! I know it sounds weird but it is the first thing that came to my mind. I think it is absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYup, that is a little weird! It made me chuckle though. --Lynn
DeleteI’ve been thinking about this ever since I read your blog a couple days ago, and I think I’ve finally thought of a great name - Mazey’s Choice. I love it and I hope you like it, too. Margaret mammichatcomcastdotnet
ReplyDeleteRed Stars at Twilight.
ReplyDeleteChain Link Stars. What do you think?
