So inspired by some gorgeous scrappy quilts I saw at the BQF, I made this month`s block for the Bloggers` BOM QAL. This month, it`s designed by Vicki Welsh of Field Trips in Fiber. Here it is, made from incredibly good value FQ scrap packs I ordered from M is for Make.
I really like this star and am very happy with the scrappiness and the colours I used. I recently `fessed up on a flikr thread that I hadn`t always been a star girl but was in the process of being converted to them and was picked up on this by the queen of stars herself. Just look at this star which she not only designed but made herself. Incredible!
The Bloggers` BOM started last month when I made this block designed by Sherri McConnell of A Quilting Life.
So as I had decided to go scrappy, I redid last month`s block and it`s a good job I did looking at some of those points! Here it is - again made with those scrap packs and some Parisville. Much better points.
I much prefer the scrappy one. So here are Blocks 1 and 2 nestled together.
Blogger turned it round. Silly Blogger. |
The only other sewing news is that the Red City quilt is basted and waiting to be quilted. I`m all caught up with the Duo QAL. Yea!

Great new star! Just added my entry to lower the standard of the BQF! xxx
Glad that you are warming up to stars! Your's looks great, and I can't wait to see the Red City quilt when it is finished!
Lovely stars!
Love those 2 blocks, and just stunned that there's no bright pink ;o)
At the moment I have precisely 1 quilt and 1 wall hanging under my belt, it might be taking the proverbial if I signed up to BQF ;o)
love your blocks. I have just sat down to browse the BQF, with a cup of tea and homemade lemon drizzle cake (home made anything is a rarity!) perfect way to spend a sunday evening
Such fun!
Had a lovely note from your mother and will write back to her probably tomorrow!
And yes, I will get to your hat pretty soon. Do you want elf or round top?
We had snow yesterday!
You are doing well with your QAL - lovely blocks, hope you grow to love stars more and more.
Love your blocks and your fabric choices. They look wonderful. Don't go raising anyone's expectations by calling me 'queen' though. I might get hung for being an imposter!

Look at you just getting so much accomplished. I owe you a long catch-up email.
I love your blocks!
I only just made it to the BQF party (fashionably late entrance I think). The blocks look great, love the star one!
Love the stars!
