I was really excited to participate in the blue and white star exchange. I made several different blocks, but just didn't feel like making all 12, or felt that they were not fancy enough to share. So I finally decided to use up some of the blue and white fabric that I had. I totally eliminated several scraps. Yoo-woo!!! Yiippee! Anyway, I finally made enough of this block to finish a whole top. Now I've just gotta get it quilted and give to my neice for her August wedding.

I used quiltinaday.com's pattern for Leah's Star (free) to make this. It was pretty quick and easy.

That is so nice and your wedding gift will be cherished forever.

This is so pretty. I like the colors - fresh, clear, cheery :)

Oooo, how pretty! Those are such pretty fabrics and you did a great job on it. Your neice and hubby will love it!

Beautiful. Love blue and white. Looks so crisp. I'm sure this is a gift they will treasure forever.

That really is a very cheerful looking quilt! I love it!!!! :D

Thanx!!!

That is a great star block. I would love to have had one in my quilt. I guess my loss is your niece's gain!! Beautiful quilt.

what a beautiful wedding gift! It will hold a special place in their hearts and home.

ditto!!! I love it!

That's pretty!

Really nice! That's one we'll miss out on but your niece will love the quilt!

Nice job Sara! Love the blue & white. :D:D

Oh Sara that is so fresh!! I love the block you chose, it looks really effective, well done :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

looks pretty nice.....but would loved to had one too....:-(

That's really pretty! I have some little blue and white floral fabric I bought years ago. It reminded me of the old corning ware baking dishes and my mom. You have inspired me to add another project to the ever growing.."list". :lol:

Great job, beautiful :D

What a beautiful wedding gift!!! I'm sure it will be well loved.

I am in the star exchange and would have loved to have one of your stars!! You did a great job!
But your niece is going to love her gift!!!

I love it... She's gonna LOVE it

Very pretty.

Really like your block and quilt. I may keep this star pattern on the front burner as I'm thinking will have to make a few more blocks for my B&W star quilt.

I have always loved blue and white quilts! This is a beautiful quilt!

Love your quilt! I love the star blocks too and shoot...I'd sure have been happy with one...glad your niece gets it to enjoy!

I agree. Lucky niece!

Beautiful Sara i know she will love it everytime she see's it , it
will speak happy peace feelings to her

Heck I wasn't in the swap and I would have wanted one LOL They are very nicely put together. Don't be so hard on yourself.

At any rate, your niece will love it and cherish your work.

What a fabulous gift!

That is just gorgeous!!!

You guys are kind. I took the quilt top to one of my home Hospice visits to show my patient. The lady used to sew, and it really brightened her day to see a work in progress. It was fun to hear her tell stories about sewing, etc.

It sounds like you made her day. :-)

Very nice!!

Looking great! Blue's my favorite color. Take another picture when the quilting is done. They'll love it!

Sarah...your quilt is just lovely and the blues ae just yummy. Good job.

i really like this star and your fabric choices are great! nice present.

I was shopping at JoAnns and found some fabric just like one of the scraps that I used in some of the stars. So I bought enough for a border to make the quilt just a bit larger. It set it off better. I also put a tiny star like the big ones in each corner of the border. But I'm done now! (except quilting)

Got it all ready for the wedding (next week). Even my Gracie loves it. I like to sew in the summer, but not really much quilting, etc. so this was a struggle for me. Hurray, it's finished!

That's one gorgeous quilt!! And the inspector loves it too -- she's beautiful! She looks so soft and cuddly....

very pretty.... :-)

saravincent...and another great quilt is finished! :D
