I usually print the patterns off at the beginning of the month, and then sense that "come play with me" haunting until they are completed.
We had 9 blocks for August Star Crazy.
Jan came over yesterday, and she always helps motivate me to stay on task with Star Crazy. Isn't it wonderful to have a friend to work with on a project? By the way, even though Jan doesn't have a blog or post of her progress, she has completed all of her blocks so far.
There were 3 Pinwheel Stars
3 Shadow Stars
And 3 Evening Stars.
Usually, each month we make a large stack of 1/2 square triangles that will eventually be used in the construction of the outside border.
Did you notice that this month we only made 4? They look a little lonely sitting all by themselves.

This 12 month journey with The Quilt Show is a lot of fun.
I often have people e-mail me, asking if they can join us in the making of Star Crazy.
Yes! We would love to have anyone join in with us!
As a reminder, Star Crazy is The Quilt Show's Block of The Month. In order to download the patterns, you need to be a member of The Quilt Show with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims. If you are not a member already, it's very easy to join
the blocks look wonderful!

ReplyDeleteI love star blocks and these latest ones are great! Sewing the same project with a friend is very motivating for keeping on track.
ReplyDeleteIt's very beautiful Nedra. Stars are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the story about the freezer in the last entry very much. My husband is from a large family and it resonated with him. So cute!
I need an expert. I make very small art quilts. Occassionaly I will print a photo onto fabric, and use it as a center square, with strips peiced to each side. Always, unless I fuse it down, the center block raises up above the border strips, and will sometimes have a little pucker. I don't know what to do, except fuse it down.
