BLOCK OF THE MONTH - BOM
BOM 2012 - Sedona Star
Auditioning Colors and Fabrics for Sedona Star 2012
Join us on a new 12-month quilting journey as we bring you a fabulous quilt designed especially for TQS by Sarah Vedeler. Sedona Star is a spectacular medallion quilt that features a beautiful center star surrounded by a charming array of appliqué elements.

Each month we will provide a photo and detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, as well as full-size patterns. Sedona Star finishes at approximately 88” x 88” inches. One version features a total of sixteen different print fabrics, including colorful shades of blue, pink, purple, yellow, red and gold; however, Sarah is providing another alternative color option and instructions for each month as well. Fabric kits for both colorways area available in limited quantities through the TQS Shoppe.

I will not be doing the Sedona Star quilt, but I follow the forum with great interest. Nancy, your colorway is beautiful and you have interpreted the photo just perfect. I admire all the suggestions people already have for this quilt. Looking forward to see all those ideas come to life.

Thanks! I noticed that some people were having difficulty with the coloring template, so I just wanted to offer my solution. Please post a copy of your colored template, if you make one. I'd like to see what others are planning.

Sarah :-)

Thanks so much! I took this photo several years ago and have been wanting to use this color scheme in a quilt ever since. I think I will try some other colorways for your design before I settle in on the one I like best.

I don't have EQ, nor Photoshop, so I had to figure out a way to color the template mechanically using the tools available to me. Hopefully, my post will help others.

I copied the PDF version of the coloring template into Paint, using the Snapshot feature of adobe reader, and colored it online. Paint creates a .png file on a save and I mistakenly changed it to .jpeg before I completed coloring it so I didn't get to finish (wherever it is still white) as the Paint functions "color picker" and "color fill" didn't work as well with the .jpeg format. However, I got enough completed for you to get the jist. It's attached below.What appears black is really a very dark green. I doubt that I will be making this quilt during the quilt along, but it might be in my future. I've also attached a copy of the phot that I used for the color scheme inspiration.

Wow! I love the black background. Now the quilt really speaks to me! I now know how Robin G. felt last year! Can I work on two quilts at once? I am still on March of last year's BOM. (Why did I decide to hand applique the whole thing, when I am not even an appliquer?) I'm thinking with severe time management I might be able to do this. I do tend to get distracted! But, it would be fun to try!

I have been absent from the BOM forum for the past two years, but Sedona Star has been talking to me since I first saw it! I am also going to go with a black or dark back ground, and using the colour wheel ala Jacqueline de Jonge for my brights! It is going to be a fabulous year!
