When I set out to make another version of the Star Light, Star Dark Quilt for the QAL (quilt-a-long - which runs through Oct. 4!), I wanted to make the complete opposite of my cool color version, "Illuminate." And I'm star-struck (I wrote that out and then realized it was punny, but I'm leaving it). I've already started quilting it and I can't wait to show you more! It also helps that I've decided who to gift it to; I've been really inspired to work on it.
By the way, on Monday and during next week, check back to see a linky party of progress on all the great SLSD quilts out there - just WOW! You can see some of them right now on the #starlightstardarkqal hashtag on Instagram, or in the Quilty Habit Facebook group (which is for all QH readers!).
For quilt names, I'm thinking of "Incandescence," "Blaze," and "Invigorate" (somewhat like "Illuminate"). Help me out and vote - which one do you like best? Or can you think of another option? I'm partial to the third choice, but I keep waffling. :)
I do like blaze. What about Red star or Fire stars?
ReplyDeleteWhat about Ignite or Ignited? Like an ignited flame, idea, or feeling....
ReplyDeleteI like blaze or even Star Blaze. Either way, they are great colors. Thanks for linking up with TGIFF!
ReplyDelete"Blaze" is my favorite of your top three choices but all I could think of when I saw your gorgeous quilt top was "Solar Flare".
ReplyDeleteStarFire? Or Blaze. But I'm not real good at naming. So I say go with your gut, and if you are feeling Invigorate, go for it. I like how it complements the name for your cool version.
ReplyDeleteOops, I just noticed that Star Fire is the name of a quilt on another blog I just read, so maybe not a good suggestion for this one. It must have slipped out of my subconscious. :)
ReplyDeleteTo me these colours evoke summer. How about somehow combining sunshine and stars in your title?
ReplyDeleteI like Blaze for a name. Really enjoying the quilt along. I applied for membership in the Facebook group.
ReplyDeleteI just keep thinking Sunset when I look at this. Or Autumn Blaze because these colors scream Fall to me. Either way it's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love the warm colors of this one! I can't name a quilt...ever! It's too hard and the harder I try the more lame it gets!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, just love how your quilt looks! "Hot pepper" is what comes up in my mind, lol!
ReplyDeleteJust checking out your blog.... these quilts are beautiful.. Would definitely like to try it.
ReplyDeleteI lean towards blaze too. It is also the easiest to write down, lol. I love this color combo with tiny bit of green to spice it up.

DeleteHow about Hot August Nights?
ReplyDeleteHow about Global Warming? No?
ReplyDeleteOkay I like Hot Light. or So Warm.
I am not a good namer
Invigorate is good
You said it yourself in your post...."I'm Star-struck" or just "Star-struck. But whatever you name it, it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI would name it starburst because it is the same color family as the starburst candy. It would look like it was intentionally planned all along with your color and design scheme.
ReplyDeleteI just went back and re-read the post and realized I was supposed to pick between your 3 choices. Sorry about that, I wasn't trying to be bossy!
ReplyDeleteSince the colors are so warm, in the vein of Illuminate, how about "Radiate". Love it whatever you call it!
ReplyDeleteJennifer, I love it! Thanks for making this so difficult! :D ;)
