<\/a><\/p>\nThat is fantastic, but with Anya being so small … seven different colors would yield very tiny little slivers along the top. So I thought I’d make something like this, but using Newton’s five color spectrum divisions. Even sharing the fabric with my mom so she can make another skirt, I’m going to have a good bit of fabric left over.<\/p>\n
I think I’m going to make a quilt. It is possible to cut a five pointed star from a square of fabric with a bunch of folds and one cut (http:\/\/www.ushistory.org\/BETSY\/more\/flagfoldcut.htm<\/a>). The mariner’s compass will be challenging, and attaching all of the stars to the background fabric will certainly be time consuming even on a machine. But I think it’ll be worth the effort. Quilt design below – the rectangle is where a twin size mattress would be.<\/p>\n Below is a\u00a0blow-up of the star. There are really three different triangles cut from two different colors. Piecing it together, though, is a challenge. I found a good paper piecing tutorial at\u00a0https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IlF1J05OV4U<\/a> … the process actually makes sense now. At\u00a0least in theory!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
