Renelda Peldunas-Harter is a finalist in our Professional category. Her quilting alter-ego, Quilted Cora, has been helping Renelda through every twist and turn of the Quilt Design Star™ 2012 competition.
Renelda’s entry-round quilt was titled “Colonel’s Stars”.
Colonel's Stars
Renelda wrote to us, describing her inspiration for Challenge 1:
“After getting over the fact that ‘Storm at Sea‘ would be our inspirational block, I started to think of ways to make the block my own! I swim several times a week and the solitude and rhythm of the water affords me quality thinking time. Since I have no pictures of me swimming, here’s a picture of Quilted Cora (my alter-ego) as she is seen swimming with the fish (fully accessorized) in my ‘Under the Sea’ quilt. Inspiration struck! Quilted Cora has chosen batiks to help flesh out the Challenge 1 design. Wish us luck (Cora flunked rotary cutting in Kindergarten)!”

Love Quilted Cora, she’s a hoot! Heading for the beach tomorrow and taking my Storm at Sea project with me! Can’t wait to see what you (and Cora of course) cook up for the next round!
Congrats on making it to this round. Cant wait to see all the new projects. Good Luck to everyone!
