For three days I stood by Star Crazy, TQS's pieced 2010 Block of The Month.
And fell in L.O.V.E.
Star Crazy was designed by the extremely talented Sue Garman.
It was a thrill to meet Sue and to talk to her about Star Crazy.
From there an idea was born. I knew I wanted to make Star Crazy, but I didn't want to make it alone.
I started Star Crazy Log, a blog devoted to 12 months of working together.
The response was more than I had hoped for.
We had 31 participants from all over the world. Spanning most the United States to Australia, Sweden,United Kingdom and Norway, we have spent a year getting to know each other through our love of quilting.
We have shared our cultures, our family activities, and become good friends.
To date, we have 119 followers,
with 15,635 visits,
and 28,716 page reviews.
What an adventure!
I chose to make Star Crazy from my scraps.
I tried to follow Sue's suggested color design as closely as possible.
Many of you worked with your own color pallet. I will share some of your pictures on a future post.
Now, it's time to get the finished top off to the quilter.
After having the blocks up on my design wall for the last year, the space will look a little lonely now.
I will have many fond memories of 2010 every time I look at Star Crazy.
Thank you to all who participated in Star Crazy Log! I have been inspired by your talent and creativity.
Your excitement prompted me each month to stay current with every BOM release.
And thank you to Sue Garman, and The Quilt Show for creating such a beautiful quilt, and inviting us to play along.
Even though I am now finished with Star Crazy, I will continue to manage Star Crazy Log where we will see postings of finished quilts continue to trickle in.

A GREAT BIG CONGRATS!! It is beautiful, and thanks so much for hosting Star Crazy. There is no way I would have even made this quilt or known about it without you.

Stunning!
It was a great year, wasn't it? I know I would never have finished if not for the blog keeping me honest. *S*
I've never had someone else quilt my quilts, but I think this will be the first one.
Beautiful quilt! I have been a member of TQS from the beginning, and have saved all of the BOM patterns that they have done, but haven't had time to make any yet. I'm really thinking of doing this year's quilt. Will you be doing this one too?
Congrats! It's been fun to follow on your journey!
That really beautiful. Congratulations Nedra - Hugs Nat
It's even more beautiful in person. You did an amazing job and you got rid of lots of scraps too! Tell Dano congrats on his run...that's amazing to be in the top 20 on your first marathon. I have no ability to even imagine it, as I can't run around the block!! Hugs
