Yes, it's the Indigo, Pewter, and Honey collection by Judie Rothermel. The pattern is HSTs but comes out looking like a Broken Star.
I just love the new Viking machine Speed piecing is even faster when I have it set at needle up. After I sew a pair and stop, it has the needle up and the foot down. I tap the pedal (while picking up the next pair and making sure they are aligned) and it goes to needle down, foot up. I put the next pair in and start sewing again. No reaching for the presser foot lever. I prefer it this way rather than the needle down position because I don't like the presser foot lifting every time I stop.
Sometimes muddy is the right thing to do even when you're a lady. :lol:
Not much to show yet. Just a mountain, or a few hills at least, of ironing to do. The pattern directions are really nice. Along with colored and numbered pictures of the sections it has the entire quilt layed out by the sections and the fabrics numbered 1 thru 5 and B for the background.
