Design Wall and etc...............

Spinning Star [Starring the Waterlilies]
On Saturday I went to a workshop.  It was put on by the Contraband Quilters Guild.  Dot Collins of the Beaumont, Texas area came over to instruct the class.  We had chosen to do her Spinning Stars quilt.  We had 20 quilters and it was a great day, fun was had by all.  I decided to increase the size of the quilt so thus made a drawing so I would know what I was doing.  This quilt is made with triangles.  Six triangles make a hexagon.  My plans are to make all of the stars different.  I think this is going to be a star a week quilt. I have a quilt that I must meet a dead line (of which I need to check to see what that is).  I also have the basket quilt coming up March 1st.  I am going to be a busy busy person. 

Not much new here.  The weather was super over the weekend.  We had low 70's.  Vic was here working on the lawnmower and trimmed up the hedges in the front yard.  The yard work has begun.  It is never ending until November.

Hope all is well on your end...................

  2. Oh my..... I love it! The contrast from light to dark in the block, and all the movement that gives it. It will be a spectacular quilt. I'll be watching this one.

  3. I remember watching someone making that block on Simply Quilts several years ago. I have always wanted to do it but never had the right fabrics or the nerve to try it. I am looking forward to seeing your progress.
