Charming Stars....

Last year I joined in with Terry's Charming Stars Sew-A-Long

now all my stars are joined together and borders added


It's very soft and pretty ... I used a range called "Papillon"
and the pattern is from Moda HERE


I think it will be fun to quilt too.... 


Thanks Terry..... I started Scrappy Stars the year before and those blocks are still being made (though mine are squares instead of Stars)...
I wanted to do some mindless piecing the other day so I made 11 more of these... I think I have all 81 that I wanted now



 and this year Terry is going to do a lovely nine patch/snowball one with scraps .... tempting????  My scrappy quilts are always very scrappy ....

Thanks Terry..... I love your sewalongs, scrappy makes and low stress

Righto, Gotto Go.... I have pinned a scrappy quilt which has been waiting a couple of years and want to get it quilted (Bonnie's Trip Around the World)


I always start the year trying to get some UFO's done...

Righto, Gotto Go.... quilt, quilt, quilt.... after coffee .....

    Sounds like you have lots to do today so I won't keep you. Charming Stars does look very charming and I can't believe that you have finished the top already. That Trip Around the World still calls to me.

    Love the way the stars have come together. Great result. And I also like the scrappy stars/squares. 81 blocks sounds like a good sized quilt.
    Have fun quilting your Trip Around The World.
    I do enjoy the scrappy look of quilts and of course they use up so many scraps!!

    Your Stars are looking great and I will join Terry with the ninepatch/snowball flimsy but will be making mine scrappy.
    Have done a Scrappy Round the World too . Always a fabulous way to use up scraps.
