I've gotten way behind on this and probably won't catch up. But at least I'll have the directions for the future. If only there was more time to do the important things in life like quilting!

Hopefully not... I live in the middle of the woods in Mississippi and have pulled more ticks off me than I care to count. No Lyme disease. I don't think it's all that common.

Lyme disease would be a blessing compared to being bitten by the Lone Star Tick. Two husbands out of the 5 ladies in my quilt club have been bitten and now have Alpha-Gal (allergic to red meat / mammals for the rest of their lives). Its a new and growing disease east of the Mississippi. The ladies are struggling to re-learn how to read labels and what to cook.....So please be on the look out.

I made my first block! I wanted to experiment with this floral fabric I've had for a couple years. It's so busy I decided to pair it with solids. It's still growing on me. I wish I had used lighter solids for the center so the star was more prominent. But I think I'll go with it. I can mix up light and dark ones since I have both colors in my stash. I might even make some alternates with the dark background in the center and the light background around the outside! That would be fun.
And...since I'm a bit on the 'DIY' side...I upsized the block to 16 inches so I could see more of the large scale print! :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]582861[/ATTACH] |

The star points are part of a fresh lilacs border that I ordered too much of. Have tons left.
Now # 6 is a huge mistake.[ATTACH=CONFIG]582865[/ATTACH]I sewed the leaf on the wrong side and did not notice it until I took the picture. Looks terribly lopsided. |
kristijoy, I love that block!

Any plans to do Stars Over Baltimore http://www.piecingthepastquilts.com/ come January 2018? Is anyone buying the kit and or templates? I would like to get the templates but the cost is prohibitive.
|
It's a very pretty quilt. I've signed up to receive the downloads, but for future use. I agree, those templates are very pricey.
|
I've signed up also. I like the applique work. I also will be working without buying the templates. Looks like they would make it easier, but I'll try making my own templates. Hope someone starts a thread with the new quilt.
