I was in the mood for something fast and easy, so was perusing one of the books I wrote in the 2000s for an idea. In the book, "Traditional Two Block Quilts", I came upon "Hoopla". At the time I designed and made it, the publishing process was in a rush; and there was no time to remake it. I was not satisfied that the stars did not show up in the quilt because of the fabric I chose. It was shipped off for photography anyway. Major regrets!!!!
In this remake, I think I rectified that; plus changed the connecting block design to simplify. Because of the more definition of the pattern with these fabric choices; I decided to forgo a border and just use a yellow binding. Do-overs are satisfying.
