for Christmas Quiltalong 2011
Instructions will be supplied each month for 6 months to make the star blocks. That will be followed by one month to make the connector blocks and the remaining months will cover the assembly of the centre and adding the borders. With a bit of luck, and a following wind, you can finish the top during the October Quiltalong which gives time to quilt it and have it finished by Christmas.

Oh, I didn't know it included a quilt. I just thought everyone was making something--anything Christmasy.
ReplyDeleteNow I know it is a quilt to boot! Thanks!!
I like that, I have some lovely black and gold fabrics that would work, I'd better check I've got enough ...
ReplyDeleteGosh - looks brill - I love it!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward (with a little trepidation!) to getting stuck in!
Looks fabulous...
ReplyDeleteSue, love the pattern!! Very cute....but what does "scatty" mean in England? LOL.... ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have something of an idea just HOW MUCH WORK you and Cathi have put in to design this quilt and prepare the instructions for everyone. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLovely to have a quilt that many of us will be working on instead of, or in addition to, our own projects.
(This will be a wonderful learning quilt for Hazel, wonder how many other newbies we can catch on the way)
That's very pretty. I love star blocks. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou girls have made a great effort so far. The quilt is perfect! Although I won't be making this quilt (too hot here in Australia for Xmas quilts) I will join you and make some other projects.
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern and this sounds like such fun! So tempting!!
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern. One of my goals this year was to make some 9 inch blocks each month--my own lotto so to speak and boy will this help! THANK YOU! Mine will be scrappy, I'm sure. My Christmas is always quilts to Family Connections Center.
ReplyDeleteWell done and easy enough for a beginner!
ReplyDeleteOh, let the games BEGIN! I canNOT wait!! lolol
