Today I get to share some exciting news! \u00a0I have a star quilt featured in the newest Martingale Book, Block-Buster Quilts: I Love Star Blocks<\/em><\/a>. \u00a0The “Block-Buster” series of books are always packed with great ideas that use one specific block. \u00a0As you might guess, this particular book is all about star blocks. \u00a0Some pretty awesome designers contributed to this book including,\u00a0Lynne Hagmeier, Kimberly Jolly, Janet Nesbitt, Amy Ellis, and more. \u00a0You can hop over to the Martingale blog<\/a> to see pics of all the other quilts that are in this fantastic book.<\/p>\n

When I designed my quilt I wanted to do something a bit different so I ended up designing one giant block. \u00a0The finished quilt measures 64″ x 64.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This pattern works great with solids but it would also be a great way to show off your favorite prints! \u00a0 \u00a0The best part…it goes together pretty fast. \u00a0I love quick projects especially when it comes to piecing. \u00a0My friends all know piecing is not my favorite part. \u00a0I’d much rather be quilting.<\/p>\n

Since quilting is the best part (just pretend like you agree with me) let’s take a closer look at the quilting.<\/p>\n

I decided to quilt swirls in the grey background.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Each of the purple sections got some fun, funky feathers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And one final look at the quilt after it was all quilted but not bound.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I used double batting (cotton plus wool) so my quilting would really pop. \u00a0I just love how it turned out. \u00a0I hope you all enjoyed seeing a few close ups and in progress quilting pictures. \u00a0Now you must go buy a copy of this star-studded book<\/a> and make all the quilts!!<\/p>\n

Hugs!<\/p>\n
