Perfect star points on the baby quilt

This quilt was so much fun to make!  Mostly because it's for my new grandson, but also because of the technique I used for creating the stars.  This technique makes piecing stars faster and leaves you with perfect points every time without having to be careful.  There is NO WAY you can mess up your points!! Now THAT makes for fun piecing!!


It's 45x45.

I have so enjoyed making these stars that I bought some more fabric and just kept going.  I chose the Evening Mist line of fabrics by Moda.  I love the calming colors.  A completely different look from the baby quilt.


Next weekend I'll post a tutorial on how to make these stars.  So drop back in to check it out.

Happy quilting,

Jess

Memory quilt in the works

My oldest daughter and her husband are visiting from Moscow so they could have their baby here.  It's been an exciting time for us!  The baby came six weeks early though so the baby quilt I'm making didn't get finished in time.  I still have to quilt and bind it, but I love it and will be done soon.  I'm also working on this memory quilt for her as well.  The body of the memory quilt is almost done.  It is made entirely of Jinny Beyer  fabrics and Kona Snow and I found a great batik for the border.


I just know she will enjoy having this quilt for her friends to write on.

Happy quilting,
Jess
