Star Surround Quilt Along - Center Star

After 1 week of vacation 

and 1 week of work travel,

I am catching up to the

  Star Surround QA.

My flying geese are done,

(but not photographed)

and here is the latest installment:

Star Center

I like it!

Glad I chose just the 1 block 40 inch square version

and am glad to be caught up.

Here is  Melissa's linky party -

go and have a look at all the other

Star Surround pictures!

Happy sewing,

it's good to be back at home,

Cutting for Star Surround QA

Ok,

before I miss the deadline,

I better get my fabric cut

and posted to Melissa's linky party:

I am making a 1 star block quilt of 40 x 40,

that's all I can commit to at this moment,

but it should turn into a nice charity quilt.

Come and join!

And just because - 

look at the cute spool blocks 3 1/2 x 3 1/2

I made from the leftover:

Happy sewing,

Star Surround Quilt-A-long

You know how you sometimes end up on blogs 

and don't know how you got there?

But then you see something

and sign up for it

just because

there is no way of ignoring it:

Melissa's size option are

INCREDIBLE!

The main reason 

I am considering (ha, who am I fooling?) joining: 

a  perfect donation quilt size - 

a 1 block quilt

should be doable.

Bonus: a 40 x 40 size

uses just 1 piece for the backing.

Love it!

My fabric selection:

* top 2 fabrics for the star,

* flower for the surround

* and white background.

I am usually slow and indecisive

in my fabric selection,

but this should work.

Come and join!

Thanks, Melissa

for helping me get back 

my sewing and blogging mojo,

Barb
