38 Ohio Stars on the Board ....
38 Ohio Stars ....
These Orca Bay, Step 6 blocks (from Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville.com ) sew up faster than expected. The final pressing (seams pressed in or out) will be completed when we are given more instructions. My star centers also include several purpley blues. I thought the pink might add some spark - I'm loving them all! The small units of strings are in the pinks and purpley ranges, and my larger string units are in the blues/purpley/turquoise range.
I don't want to eat anything ever again ...8-(
I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.

They are just adorable!! Nice and crisp, and great color...
ReplyDeleteThese blocks by themselves would make a lovely quilt! Exciting times ahead from Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteI pressed all my seams open except for the hourglass units. I have 18 of each light/dark all done and pressed. They are soooo cute. I have to finish them tomorrow.

You take one down, pass it around, 37 Ohio stars on the board...no, wait, that doesn't fit here. : )
ReplyDeleteI am interested to see how your fun combination of colors looks in the finished product.
I'm loving your star blocks! I thought the same last night about never eating again ... and then this morning I find myself eating mincepies for breakfast - LOL! Will I never learn :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!!! Oh my gosh!!! I do love those stars. Great color combos. :)
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look fabulous! I hope to catch up this week!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've been busy, busy, busy. Great progress! Did you eat too much for the holiday? I did pretty good by not being around a lot of goodies this time.
ReplyDeleteWow... lookee you sew 'em up so fast! Your blocks are great! Like your idea of mixing up the center square. Can't wait to see them all together. This is such a great project.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!

You have certainly been busy! I love the notebooks that you've been making. I wonder if I could figure out how to change the measurements for Japanese notebooks.
ReplyDeleteAnd great job on Bonnie's Mystery quilt! I could have sent you black fabric too....
Lookin' good!
ReplyDeleteYour stars are very crisp and bright - can't wait to see how this all goes together!
