Red Sky at Night

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Traditional


Materials

Squares of fabric from a charm swap

What was your inspiration?

I took a Charm quilt workshop and made two quilts using the charms - this is the horizontal version. I was going for a colorwash look using the stars made from the charm squares.

What are you most proud of?

Love the look of this and how it seems to glow!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Working with this many different colors may seem hard, but it was really a lot of fun arranging them and playing with the different ways they could be arranged.

I love half square triangles. This is why! Beautiful, yet so simple a concept. Absolutely stunning.

I think the way you've graduated the colours is excellent. This must have been a very time-consuming project, with all those triangles and points but it was absolutely SO worth it!

This is simply beautiful. It is a lot harder than it looks, with all those corners and points. Well done!!!
