What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Oh no – there are more – some I actually forgot about and one I didn’t forget but forgot to mention it.  Some of you will be familiar with the one I call “The Rose Garden” – the actual name for this one was “La Rosaraie” – I got part way done with it and […]

The Feathered Star block is finished – finally and that was after mistake after mistake – to the point that several new pieces needed to be cut.  Two blocks are now done – they are 16 inches – I’m thinking of possibly not bothering to make this frustrating block again and use these two blocks […]

Well I didn’t get done with my yellow March Feathered Star but it is getting there!  I couldn’t get to work on it until late afternoon as I had my eyes dilated for an eye exam yesterday morning – with the lights dimmed down I thought it best to wait to get to work – […]

So far the Feathered Star is coming together ok, but it is the middle section that gave me fits last time so we will see what happens today.  This is as far as I got yesterday when I put it aside to get supper ready.  – Yes the seam ripper has been to work already!  […]

Will I or won’t I succeed in making this block a second time?  As you know I made a red Feathered Star for January for one of my RSC quilts and then February’s block failed and I threw that one away – I decided to give it one more shot and cut a yellow blocks […]

Work was started on the Feathered Star aqua color but I can tell you it is moving slow! It has been rip, rip, rip – you know how it goes with these little pieces you get off just a tiny bit and it is too much.  I lay out one section at a time or […]

Another busy day.  Of course I knew I would make a mistake on this block no matter how many times I double checked placement before I sewed.  I found one early on and got that one fixed and then totally missed the last one until it was done and I was standing back proudly looking […]

Finally all washed and dried, I forgot to measure but I know it is about 95 x 105 inches.  Hand quilted, machine pieced using pieces cut from accuquilt 12 inch Drunkard Path dies.  I started the quilting on Oct. 6 2021 and finished it 2 months and 3 weeks later – taking 86.5 hours!  I […]

I have been busy working on the RSC challenge with the  group that rises to Angela’s challenge at SoScrappy .  How many RSC quilts will I make this year? I am still not sure but I started the 5th one today.  But first here is the Hunter’s Star – four blocks – each is 12.5 […]
