Good Morning! Thanks for the compliments y'all! Right now, I feel like this quilt is lagging behind. It's hard to stay as motivated as I was in the beginning. Isn't that always the way it is? I just know it can't become a UFO. So here is my Rhode Island. A different star shape. Sorry for the double photos. Cant' figure out why, I think it's a problem across the board.

Thanks Barb!
I haven't gotten to sew in about a month and a half and probably won't get much time until mid-October...until then, I am enjoying everyone's weekly posts. For those who have only made a few blocks and turned them into table runners, wall, hangings, smaller quilts, etc...please post a picture for us to see!

I have been quiet for a while, just too many things going on in my life at the moment. As I didn't want these stars to be lost in my cupboard I have decided to finish them with what I had already made. So this is what I have ended up with, 2 small lap quilts. They will be given to a charity group I support who will quilt them and then forward them onto an aged care facility.
Thank you Carriem for hosting this project, I wish I could have seen it through to the end but unfortunately that can't be.

Mirabella, those blocks and quilts are beautiful.
I have been lurking for nearly a year. With QNS's encouragement, I took the plunge. Now have the bound book, CD, and FF. So I am really late for this round or a jump ahead for the next one. After doing two, I can see why one could flag out. My, they are time-consuming. I am not the fastest quilter around, but normally not this slow, but maybe it will get faster. I need to work on the contrast/value thing. I think they may look better in person. So tada, here is Alabama and Alaska, my versions:
Kalama's setting is inspired, in my opinion. I have decided to use mostly batiks and only batik for background. I have decided the circles represent planets orbiting the stars?? You all have done beautiful work and this is inspirational to me and others. Good job, Carriem!
