Green and Gold Star 1 - Quilt Top Finished

Got this one finished last night (which may have involved me actually burning the pasta I was cooking and having to put the pot outside so it didn't set off the smoke detector). This is for Aussie Hero Quilts, so it is just the top. I will send it to them and they will quilt it and have it there for people who haven't requested a specific quilt design. I have another one nearly finished, using the same design and colours. I should get that done tonight.

I love this pattern. Such an easy block that can be adapted to any colours. Great for scrappy quilts, cause all you need to do is make sure the triangles are the same colour and the rest can be anything and the pattern will still work. I would love to do this one in red, white and blue but I haven't been able to get alot of discount fabric in those colours.


In other quilty news, I've decided to stop doing the Block-A-Day thing. It would just too hard to keep up and was becoming a chore rather than a fun thing. I did make it a month, but just not worth the stress. I will keep making blue and white blocks until I have enough to make a quilt.

Block-A-Day - Block 6 - Friendship Star Variation

I wonder how many variations of the Friendship Star I can come up with? I'm thinking of using some four patches?

Block-A-Day - Block 5 - Friendship Star Variation

I'm keeping up with making the blocks but falling a bit behind on the blogging about them!! I am also starting to run out of blue and white fabric!! That is happening a lot quicker than I expected. This one is another Friendship Star variation. #BAD2014

Blue & White and Yellow Split La Moyne Star Progress

I started this quilt many years ago, probably at least 15 years ago. All the blocks are hand sewn using the template and trace method. But I've put them together by machine.

So near and yet so far!! Here are the two sections ready to be joined but for the cat assistance.
Once I got them together I added the thin, dark blue border.
