Here are my little group of 4″ stars. This group is not growing as fast as I would like it to grow, but they all look great. I am very pleased with the way they look together. Even the ones that are running towards red-violet add a spark to the group.
There are two things annoying about these stars:
- There are not enough of them and they are not reproducing fast enough. Have I told you I need 89 of them? No? I need 89. I am not even a quarter of the way there.
- I have a nice little violet star on my design wall half sewed. Why half sewed? I lost 2 of the Flying Geese I need to finish this one star. They HAVE to be around here somewhere. I even cleaned up my cutting table. No luck. I can make more. I probably have enough fabric, but really. To where could 2 Flying Geese have flown?
Also, take a look at the original Quilt-a-long instructions. You can see all the posts on this topic by searching the tag “Star Sampler.”
they flew north for the summer? and I discovered today that a block I had pieced has defective fabric and will have to be totally redone….I am displeased
Funny in a weird coincidental way, because I bought a piece of fabric and found that it had a hand sized flaw in it. I have marked it and won’t use that part, but what a pain.
So if these are 4″ blocks that means you’re using 1.5″ squares. Fascinating!
The center is a 2.5″ square, but the others are very tiny.
