I am still here!

Well, it has been 4 months since I have had an update.  Life sure got hectic during the fall.  I didn't want to lose all of the good momentum of the year and let my quilt drift off into UFO land.  Starting on Thanksgiving weekend I buckled down and got working on the September blocks.  The next hurdle, I couldn't find the camera to take photos of the completed blocks.  Oh well, I just kept moving on.  So, as 2010 drew to a close yesterday, this is what my Star Crazy quilt has become (so far). 
I have all of the small star blocks done and the half square triangles for the borders too!  Whew, just made it (sort of).  Now I have to decide what color to make the small inner border.  I don't think I want to use green like in the pattern.  I think I am leaning towards a blue.  I will have to wait until my local quilt shop is open (closed for the holiday today and then inventory).  That will give me time to sew all of those half square triangles together for the borders.

Nedra - thank you so much for managing this blog.  I really don't think I would be this far if it wasn't for the wonderful inspiration the whole group has inspired. 

Happy 2011!
Kristin

  5. Great work! And I agree that blue might be a better match for your other fabrics.

    It occurs to me that those narrow separators may not be actual borders, but they still take the same amount of stitching around all four sides. :(

    I have my final green and then wider white to do, and boy am I looking forward!

  6. Hi Nedra,

    I'm not a facebooker or tweeter so I was wonder if you could help me find the patterns for the Joseph smith quilt blocks. I was in Nuavoo in 2005 and picked up a couple of patterns but would like to have all of them. Is there an address or phone number where I could order them.
    Thank you!
