Twinkle Stars Tutorial by Andrea Feldbush of Soscrappy |
Some of the fabrics look black. They are really just very dark blue. The plan is to make 6 to 7 blocks each month, with 3 being all the color of the month and the last 3 or 4 with the variable star points made from a contrasting color. These blocks are great for using up 2.5" and 1.5" scraps. I'm really enjoying making these little stars and can't wait to see how it looks at the end of the year when there will be a rainbow of colors up on design wall.
Good progress was also made on moving last year's Rainbow Scrap Challenge Sampler to completion.
2014 Rainbow Scrap Challenge Sampler By Angela Feldbush of Soscrappy |
All the rows are sashed and sewn together. I've started on a pieced border for this quilt. I don't normally make pieced borders, but this quilt just seemed to need one. Hopefully I'll have something to show on that next week. RSCS is my Januray UFO so I'm really hoping to get it to the finished flimsy point by the end of the month.
I'm linking up to Angela's Rainbow Scrap Challenge post. Then I'm going to grab my second cup of coffee and check out all pretty blue blocks everyone is making.

Those stars are just darling and your sampler looks great. I agree--a pieced border will be perfect for it.
The sampler turned out so well. Love your new project with the twinklers. It was a fun block to put together.

Your rainbow sampler is looking GREAT! Looking forward to seeing what you do about a border.
Love those twinkling stars and your top from last year's blocks is looking great.
You've done an amazing job there Kate with last year's sampler. It looks stunning. I also love your version of twinkling stars - mine are much simpler.
PS I also love your blog banner!
Your Twinkle Stars are beautiful, and your RSC sampler is going to be amazing! Can't wait to see how you finish it.
Beautiful beautiful stars.
Oh yes, this quilt needs a pieced border. I think all quilts do. I stopped by because your twinkling blue stars really caught my attention. They are gorgeous!
Wow. The twinkle stars are precious and your sampler looks amazing. What a good week.
Loving your stars so far. The sampler quilt is really coming together nicely! Hope you get it done this month. It hasn't been a UFO for very long:)
Love those twinkle stars!!! It's going to be a beautiful year!
Your stars are beautiful! Lately everyone is showing finished star quilts, and I'm inspired to start in on one. On the other hand, your sampler is fantastic! I need variations of color in a quilt to keep my attention while I'm working, and that would do it. First time I've been here. Lovely work you do.
