Seeing Stars

There seems to have been a bit of a Star theme going on here lately —
Maverick Stars - a surprise for a friend-nod-nod-wink-wink.
I love making these stars.
Christmas Table Centre Star.
Something is wrong with this picture - can you tell what?
(Yes, I've run out of fabric).
I made one of these as a class sample for The Country Yard,
and loved it so much I'm making one for myself!!
Yummy Christmas fabrics making me drool!
(And hum Jingle Bells in my head).
Farmers Wife blocks #31 and #41
(Evening Star and Friendship Star)
It's been a while since I did any of these.
First blocks for Joanne's Thread Head Quilt Along
I had some Kansas Troubles fabric sorted out to do this with but decided
at the last minute I didn't have enough colour in the range.
So I'm using the Moda Special Basics range instead - these were the only
fabrics of it I had at home but there are lots of muted colours in it which are lovely!
Seems like I need to go shopping!
I don't think one could get bored with Star blocks - there are so many variations around... but for now, I'm all starred out so I'll do a bit more on my Hop To It sashings!
Have a great week everyone,

  6. I love all the different options there are for star blocks too. Although log cabins are probably my favourite block of all time. Is that an absolutely perfect inset seam I see?? I wonder where you could go to go shopping for fabric??? I've heard of this really neat shop...

  14. Oh my, oh my stars!!!! So very, very wonderful!!! Love the various background fabrics on the Maverick stars - I don't seem to be able to "see" that when I'm making a block - just wonderful!!! I've been "strong" - I'm only "watching" Joanne's SAL (how long do you thing that will last!!! LOL)!!

    Have a day filled with love, joy & peace!!
