Midnight Stars Quilt Top - Completed



Midnight Stars Doll Quit.  Designer: Lori D. Size: 22" square
My thanks to Lori for hosting this wonderful QAL.  I really enjoyed myself making this quilt.  One of the setting squares had to be pieced because I only had a skinny quarter.  I don't know when I'll get it quilted but what I do know is it'll be a cheddar binding.


I've started again with the free star block quilt by Blackbird Designs.  I am using an older fabric collection also by Blackbird Designs called Beach House with Kona Snow.


The Civil War Block 5 Kansas Troubles is completed.  This was sure a challenge to get right, even then the points are not exactly perfect.

I have progressed some on Prairie Schooler's More Friends.  It's still on the frame and the lighting was bad to take a pic.  It's been drizzling the whole of yesterday and part of today.  Sure is cold lately.

  2. Lori's QAL has been very popular and your version looks great. The star theme seems to be very popular with you at the moment. Still trying to finish my seven sisters - 2 stars to go.

  6. Seeing your Midnight Stars top makes me regret not have done the QAL this time.

    I loved doing it last time. *sigh* And your CW blocks look fabulous.

    I am way behind on mine as I have been busy testing blocks for the quilt group, quilting a UFO, stitching and working on my house blocks patchwork which were a gift from my quilt group. Humm...I never have a spare moment but I really want to make this CW quilt so can you send me some extra hours for my day? :-)
