“I have given skill to all the skillful, so that they may make all that I have commanded you. “ Exodus 31:6

“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.
Walter Rauschenbusch

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.

I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.

If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.

Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20

FINISH--Hunter's Star small quilt

I have had it in mind to make this pattern again, for a while now. Previously I made one about this size in Christmas colors, and I bring it out at Christmas time. But I really thought that it was time that I make it in bed-size.

But, alas, after doing a few blocks I realized that I just do not make it accurately enough to be happy makng that many blocks. So, I stopped at a size fit for a lap or a table. I do love the coloration that I chose this time.........a nice change from the bright colors that I usually revert to.

I don't know if I will keep this one, or if I will donate it to someone. But for now, I enjoy it hanging on my living room wall.
