If you are a member of The Quilt Show you can download the patterns for free. If you are not a member, run over and sign up! The yearly membership is worth the patterns alone, plus you get to watch all their shows, and the other fun things going on with their web site.
When I worked at the Houston show, I stood right by the 2010 pieced BOM "Star Crazy" (84" X 84") for several days, and fell in love.
Pictures never do a quilt fair justice, but let me tell you, in real life this quilt is stunning.
Sue Garman designs all the BOM's for the Quilt Show. Such a talented lady, and a very nice person too.
Both quilts are available in kits and can be ordered from The Quilt Show Shoppe. I have watched my friend Patti work very hard. She has been cutting kits for months and months. The fabrics for the pieced BOM are from Alex Anderson's collection "Wisperings" by P&B Textiles.
My friend Jan K. and I are making this quilt together. Anyone else is welcome to join us if you are interested! (Just let me know).
For right now I have downloaded the available information and placed the pages in a binder.
The instructions for the first block became available yesterday.
Ready. Set. Go!

Thanks Nedra! I signed up and am looking forward to joining you in making the Star Crazy quilt.
From the very beginning of my quilting, I have been drawn to stars, and I love this Star quilt!
Those are two spectacular quilts. I wish I had the time to make one. I will just have to watch as you and Rae Ann put yours together. They will be very stunning, I'm sure of it!!!
Hi Nedra, I have printed mine off and put them in a binder. If I do it with you, will you promise to keep the fire lit under my feet to keep up each month??
What a stunner of a BOM. Love it. Have a great time piecing it together. It is beautiful. I of course just love stars....

How exciting. I love Sue Garman's patterns. Unfortunately broadband is so slow here, it's not worth signing up but I do know you can get DVD's of the shows. I'll watch your progress and cheer you on.
I want to join too! This is a super sweet quilt!
I'm in...I am printing the instructions today. I still have to finished the 2009 BOM Stars for a New Day but I know you will inspire me to get this one finished. I linked to you from Canton Village Quilts. I'm Kclily, nice to meet you.
Both of the quilts are stunning! Thanks for sharing the information. I love Alex Anderson's new fabric line.
Happy New Year!

I, too, came over from Canton. I am SO tempted to join you! I always keep the patterns from TQS and then don't actually DO them.
Did you get a kit, or are you surfing your stash?
I am in! I am going to make the star quilt even though I love the applique quilt as well. I bought my background fabric a few weeks ago (found a great sale) and the rest is coming from my Bali stash. I have my binder started and am itching to sew. Maybe this will be the motivation to get my blog going again.
I have just ordered the fabrics from The Quilt Shoppe today, for the Star Crazy Quilt. I hope it wont be taking too long before I get it in the post. I will try to keep up with you as good as I can! I so looking forward to start:o)
Greeting from Norway, Merete
Oh it is such a beautiful Quilt I love stars and just had to join in. Many thanks to Jackie for the info.
That BOM is gorgeous. Bright and clean. Need to add it to my list. Thanks for sharing all the wonderful photos from the show.
Nedra - I stopped my 2009 BOM in Feb but will finish this year along with Hugs & Kisses. So I will share my stars from 2009!! Mary
I came over from Jackie also - glad to have found you and thanks for the note you sent me. I will join the quilt show tomorrow and get the instructions printed out - I assume this can be a scrap quilt - it sure looks like it and I really need to make a big dent in my scraps this year!
