Twinkle Stars
Tutorial by Andrea Feldbush of Soscrappy

There are 33 pieces in each block. So it takes a bit of chain piecing to finish a 6.5" block. There is a whole set at the machine in various states of completion. These four have already been used to fill in a some of the holes in the new layout.
The pile at the sewing machine includes the one missing purple, one missing orange, two missing teal and just one of the missing blue stars. The fabrics for another seven blue stars has been selected, it's just not been cut into pieces yet. I'm not going to get all the missing blocks made before the end of August, but hopefully I can finish them off next weekend. Then they'll go back into the project box and hopefully will get sewn into a finished quilt next year. As much as I'd like to finish this one this year, there are two projects that need to be done by Christmas. So this one will go back into the UFO pile for a bit.

Oh my! Those are such beautiful, sparkly colors!!! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteIsn’t it nice that sewing can help to mediate the stress of a job? Your quilt is going to be beautiful when it’s finished. I can imagine it’s hard to walk away from it for a time.
ReplyDeleteI love that 'soon to be quilt'!! The block is amazing. Mondays are always hard. Weekends are never long enough!
ReplyDeletebeautiful blocks - I'm sure the quilt can wait until next year.
ReplyDeleteI love that twinkle stars block. You've got a 3 day weekend coming up -- can you spend the extra day enjoying your quilting time? I sure hope you don't bury that quilt to deep in the UFO pile. It's way too attractive!
ReplyDeleteI sure do enjoy watching your progess on this one. Those twinkle stars are a really cute pattern. I'm sure you probably mentioned this in one of your previous blogs, but how big of a quilt are you shooting for? Where would I find this pattern?
ReplyDeleteFabulous progress!!! I love that you take out and put back into UFO pile with some progress made. That's very refreshing.
ReplyDeleteSo love your stars!!
ReplyDeleteProgress forward is better than none. It will get done soon enough. Lovely stars you've added.
ReplyDeleteEvery time you show your progress on the Twinkle Stars quilt I am in awe. The blocks are beautiful! I'm sure I missed it in the beginning - is this your pattern or a purchased pattern? I'd love to try it.
ReplyDeleteOh I love it!! It is looking so beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI just love this quilt! I've said before, the melding of the colors into each other is such a subtle flow that it makes the eyes just wander thru it so easily. I do not miss those work days/weeks - so bless you
ReplyDeleteI love these stars, your new layout is really gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of sewing... luckily there is a lot of insanity coming this week that will need levelling out!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of 'oh WOW!' love this!! I know what you mean about 'one missing purple' etc, as I found out when putting my 100 blocks (which were 49 at that point) that I need more of certain colours. This is so gorgeous Kate.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw your pretty blocks I thought of "star light star bright". That is going to be a WOW when finished.
ReplyDeleteI love all of these blocks together! What a beautiful rainbow!
ReplyDeleteIt's just beautiful on the wall! Imagine this done and quilted. Stellar quilt ahead! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful project, love your rainbow effect, very pretty blocks
ReplyDeleteGreat progress and it will be so worth it when it is finished!
