Star Quilt along blocks 1 & 2 – Thank you!

Good Morning! I actually got into My Stitching Corner and got a little bit accomplished now that Andrew is feeling a little bit better. I haven’t touched Little Wings since Saturday but here is a photo of the progress to date anyhow. It is so nice the way Marilyn’s ladies have flowing dresses and watching the colour come together to form a picture is a pleasure. I was far too tired the past couple of days to work on her but maybe today. Everyone knows there is only regret when you try and work on a complicated piece when you are tired!!

Last night I finally was able to get started on my Star Quilt along blocks from Crazy Mom Quilts site! I chose the colours a few days ago but hadn’t been able to get things started. I am doing the stars in blues and the setting blocks may be with a fairly deep red as some of the blue fabrics (like the one on the left above) have a bit of red in them. I will see as they come together, if that combination will work. I have to confess, even as a fairly experienced quilter, I had to completely take apart block 1 and resew it after it was done. It was so wonky!! I wish that bias triangles wouldn’t move about like they do!! Anyhow I took it apart and am much more happy now. Block 2 came out good first time. They are only 12.25 though not 12. 5 but as long as they are all the same I should be ok!! Now…..only 4 more to do to catch up by Monday.

To everyone who responded about my Quilts for Special Siblings idea. Thank you!!! Your posts and emails have been very encouraging. I am going to tackle getting the logistics of everything figured out next week when Andrew, is hopefully, well enough to go to school. So if I haven’t emailed you back I most definately will!!

Blessing to all,
