Those hourglass blocks are the first of my leader and ender quilt blocks (as per Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville). The four sawtooth stars are for a new medallion quilt I started. The block assembly instructions are from Barbara Brackman's Star in a Time Warp BOW she did last year. They are a snap. I don't usually like working with triangles because of the bias, but if one just guides the fabric in doing this star, no problems.
I hope to get back to my Gwennie Inspired this month in between working on the commission quilt I'm hoping to finish soon. What are you up to?
You're not the only one who didn't get enough stars made. I haven't made one yet! I intend to however, while I'm thinking about how to do something fishy for the final round. Hasn't this been fun? :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty stars! You'll get back to it when you can, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI love those stars--they are going to look so great around your medallion!
ReplyDeleteYou know I love stars. With all your traveling you still sew more than me....giggle.
ReplyDeleteIt's no wonder you weren't able to finish them, they look pretty labor intensive to me. They are stunning and will be beautiful in the finished quilt!
ReplyDeleteAll in good time. Looks like you have some great projects going.
ReplyDeleteYour stars will be beautiful. I can't wait to see how you use them in the border. (Some months are just like that ... too much to do!)

Your design board looks fun and happy! Love those stars! I wonder, how did you get that beautiful yellow part in there? It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour Gwennie stars are great, and so are your hexagon flowers. Looking forward to seeing your new Gwennie border.
ReplyDeleteLove your blue and yellow stars! I thought labour day was our deadline so I wasn't even started on the first..but I'm done now!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to you finisjed.
