Pattern isnspiration
After spending an evening explaining the difference between cashmere and mohair, and how much less expensive it is to buy a fleece than it is to buy an equivalent weight of wool yarn (wool prices are truly dreadful in the US), it is no wonder that I woke up this morning with this stuck in my head: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmeyG5LlFWU That link is a really excellent performance of that particular piece. Of course while I was listening I was studying the CD cover on the screen and plotting out ways of making a quilt of it. I came up with several variations on the spot. Since I prefer piecing to appliqué, and that star is mostly made of circles and other assorted curves, variations were inevitable. There is enough to it that you can see a lot of different ways to turn it into something spiffy in fabric. Plus it is glowy, and glowy is right up there with shiny on my list of favorite colours.

Thanks so much NM for the link. That performance was wonderful. I have
sung Messiah so many times - never heard it as precise as this - I loved it. Then, of course, I was lured into clicking on the King's College clip! My office used to be in a building just to the side of King's College Chapel; and Stephen Cleobury took over from David Willcocks while I was working there. Such lovely memories. A very nostalgic hour has just been spent. I realise music doesn't play as much of a part in my life as it used to. I must make time for much more. I loved the CD cover too. I saw it in hexagons, partial hexagons - all in varying sizes. Magical! Thank you, Pat on the green ..
