A Stack of Books
Constance has a huge stack of books on her side table…
.
.
…but by dint of perseverance and a lot of hard work…
.
.
…she managed to get through every book/hexagon! By taking a hexagon flower and surrounding it with the books…
.
.
…she made a beautiful star!
.
.
Stars and flowers go together like this…
.
.
…and now Constance can get back to her other stack of books!
the stars are delightful and together with flowers are magical. I didn’t realize you could make such different shapes ( zero quilting experience) will have to give them a try. Constance is very clever.
We thought it was magic when we first saw how the stars and hexagons fit together…then we decided it was mathematics…which is a kind of magic after all! In any case, we are really enjoying the results!
Oh! this quilt is going to be so lovely, precious and I would assume, a make you smile quilt. How clever to pair books and flowers. Thanks for showing us your continued process, Constance.
It really does make me smile, and for all kinds of reasons. We are happy to share our delight, and we think it is going to be lovely too! Thanks!
No concern about light pollution when Constance’s stars are out. They are so pretty. It never occurred to me before that stars are the flowers of the cosmos…till now.
No indeed, these stars are gently coloured and shine with a sweet glow, rather than showy brilliance…I am glad you like them, and we really love the idea of flowers of the cosmos!
Books and flowers and wooden dolls…. all of them are the stuff of joy- thank you thank you!
Truly, joy mathematically and magically multiplied by sharing…You are very welcome!
Constance is so talented! And hard working. Those hexies are very impressive!!!
Thank you! Constance is very hardworking and loves to help me out, her spirits never flag, and her fingers don’t get tired…we are so glad you like our star garden!
P.S. I love the photo of her all cozy in her apron and frock sitting in her lovely rocking chair!
Thanks 😊 she loves her rocking chair!
