Quilt Summary:
"Setting A Clear Course For The Stars" by Patricia Belyea is the first quilt in her "Life Breaks In" Series.
- - Curves
- - Piecing
Description:
The background fabric of Setting A Clear Course For The Stars is made from blocks of Yukata cotton. After creating the grid of blocks, Patricia inserted curved elements on the seams. She didn't put in half a circle, another half a circle, and then seamed it, she placed entire circles and other curved throughout. This quilt is the beginning of a series for Patricia entitled Life Breaks In. The goal of the series is to create a grid of blocks for each quilt, representing the orderly nature we strive for in life but then life just breaks in, which are the curved elements in the quilt that she pieces into the background. Patricia says that if she didn't make this quilt, she wouldn't have been able to do the "What If" to make the next quilt, to make the next quilt, and so on.
