Whitney Lake Stars Quilt Top

🎝🎜When you wish upon a star, 

Makes no difference who you are 

Anything your heart desires will come true...🎝🎜

Hello there, Sunshine! How are you doing on this fine beautiful day?  Will that little tune be humming in your head all day long? 🎝🎜  LOL. It will mine. 

In October of last year, Mr. Pinker and I went on another camping trip where we enjoyed the great state of Texas. 

One night , we were sitting by the campfire . I stared intently up at the sky. 

"What are you doing ? " asked Mr. Pinker. 

"Wishing upon a star, silly! " I exclaimed. 

"Whatcha' wishing for? " he asked. 

"I cannot tell you that if I do the dream will not come true. " 

A couple of days later we headed to town where Mr. Pinker and I  traipsed around in a couple of  thrift and antique stores.  When we arrived at one store, I squealed in delight when I spotted a vintage quilt top crumpled on a table in the corner. 

I immediately made a bee line to the table and did a double squeal when I saw that I could purchase this quilt top for a "song and a dance". 🎝🎜🎝🎜💃💃💃

" Eeeeh ! I guess my dream did come  true! " I exclaimed as I eagerly showed Mr. Pinker the quilt top. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

   As soon as I arrived back at camp, I spread the beauty out on the picnic table. 

 

I believe this pattern is called "Four Pointed Star" . Please correct me if I am wrong.  I am calling this quilt Whitney Lake Stars to remind me of my trip. 

When we were at this campsite in the spring, the trees were green and the field was filled with colorful flowers.

In October,  the quilt brought color to the campsite.  Do you see Whitney Lake in the background? 

The quilt top is hand and machine pieced. 

Look at those teeny stitches. 

Isn't this block lovely? 

There are lots of pretty floral fabrics in this vintage beauty. Hmmm I wonder if some of them were feedsacks? 

Isn't the peachy yellow sashing fabric yummy?  

I cannot wait to put this pretty into the hoop.  Perhaps here soon!

So what do you think? Is this quilt top as pretty as a peach? I sure think so. 

Thank you for dropping, by Sweeties . I wish you a lovely day. 

 As Always, 

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, y'all
