This will be my background quilt. Or maybe my Leader and Ender quilt....Officially, the magazine calls it Wash Day Stars (this was in 2006....that's how long it has waited). I plan to take my time, stop and smell the roses, and make other projects along the way...
I have started to pick out fabric though.....bought for another quilt design that has since been put on the back burner...
I am planning to use the light tan or beige that is underneath as substitute for the white...Of course I don't have enough beige now...that will need to be bought (yes, this is one of those necessary fabrics that fits my fabric freeze loophole). I do plan to wait, however, until I get most of those 4 patches done...who knows, it may be 2013 by the time I finished cutting, much less sewing....
Here's hoping I don't lose the pattern in the meantime.....
Edited: Did I mention it is King Size and it's for me... to put on my double bed....Am I crazy????

This is my kind of quilt, but blinders on. I look forward to your journey with this one.
This is a beautiful pattern! It will be well worth the effort!!
not crazy!!! I have three "queen" (actually king) quilts that I made for me, that are going to go on my bed whenever I get one(I am in my brothers bed at my folks house) and it looks like I will use my littlests crib that converts into a full....oh well. I am proud of you!
That will be a pretty quilt. Have fun making it. It will go faster than you think, if you use the leaders and enders method.
No, you are not crazy! I bet it will turn out beautiful. And, by the way, I will be checking your blog often to see it completed! I am your newest follower and, when you have a chance, check out my quilting adventures at www.piecedbrain.com. Enjoy the weekend!
