My Amish Star!

Candi, I loved doing this star and love seeing all those pictures. So here is mine!

I'll second that!

I'm on a different computer due to my computers failure, so I have no idea how big this star will load. Anyway, my chocolate star for April.

Cherylmae - your star is so striking! Just beautiful.

Loving the stars! That orange fabrid is just too fun, I thnk I need some of it. :mrgreen:

Love these star! Wonderfull work all!

Yummy!

All the stars are looking beautiful, I haven't even thought about mine yet - still trying to get the time to finish my April birdhouse.

Anyway congrats to everyone the stars are gorgeous with some really pretty fabrics! :thumbup:

That piggy is adorable. what do your other blocks look like?

All of you have wonderful stars! Sorry I am not in on the fun, but have too many other projects going.
Anxious to see next month.
Love it when you picture all of your completed stars.

Here are my stars all together. Sorry about the poor picture quality. I dropped my camera last week while at the Pistons game. It has not recovered so I took this pic with my web cam. My quilting skills are still developing, I have done two quilts so far. The first was strip piecing rail fence and the other was a kit that had large squares. This Amish star is my first real block piecing. I lost some of my points. I did pin the pieces to try to keep them in place but I think I need tons more practice. Quilting is so much fun I don't know why I did not start sooner.

Love the color combo.

Wow, Love the bright dots!!!!!!!!!!

Love your colors! So warm...this will be an awesome quilt!

Glad you finally got started on quilting. I have been quilting for years, and I still have trouble with loosing points on complex blocks like the Amish Star.
I'm sure there are some board members who could give us some good tips on matching two points at the same intersection.
IMO your blocks look great, keep up the good work.

Thanks! They are bright, aren't they?? I'm making another that fits more with the others I've done. This is fun!

My second Amish Star. This one blends better with my others.

Love your bright colors- so crisp and clean! :thumbup:

Love all your stars!!! Great job :thumbup: . Hopefully I will find some time soon to get mine done.

Thanks for sharing all 4 of your stars - wonderful choice of fabrics and love the way you chose your colours

This is excellent - so exciting to see all 4 of your blocks. This has helped me to sort mine out with the colours variations.

The stars are all so beautiful!

still love those bright colors!

Thanks!

Just realized today I wasn't getting notifications on this thread and was thinking no one was making stars this month. Decided to look it up. Sure glad I did. What a beautiful bunch of stars so far. I am so far behind in this BOM, but after this week I will get going and get caught up. Nice job everyone on the stars you have made.

Everyone's stars are so beautiful. Need to get going and get mine done.

Here they are all together.

loved this block. I made it in an afternoon. I made one with bright reddish orange to pick up the flowers in the background but did not like it with my other blocks so made one with yellow/orange. May cannot get here fast enough. Here they are:

Hey! I pricked my finger and did not know it. Does anyone have a good way to get blood out of fabric? I have a spot in the middle of the block. Need help.

Me too - not getting notifications!!! Grrr! Does anyone know how to get our notices emailed again!

Here is my April Star. Not enough contrast - should have used a darker middle fabric! :x

I wasn't getting notifications either so I clicked to "unwatch" then again "watch." It seemed to work, I'm getting them now.

Fun! I love pigs! That will be a cute quilt.

Peroxide -- dab and blot, then Shout or other pre-wash then wash.

It's interesting how different the background print looks with the two different fabrics for the stars. I think both are pretty.

If you ever get a notice and just delete it without going to the site, you will not get another notice until you go to the site again. Does that make sense?

Yep, that makes sense and thanks for clearing up the mystery.

Now on to the birdhouse!

thank you I tried peroxide and it took some out. will wash the block now and see what happens

Tulip, love the reds. Looks great.
