Beginnings
 

I am currently working on Way to many projects at one time. I have to finish two quilts for a couple of my Grandchildren first, then I want to finish these. The first ( I hope) is the first segment of a Bali Wedding Star, and the second is a Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam for my sister. I tried to post the Mariner's compass, but it failed 3 different times. Not sure why. Hope you enjoy a peek at the beginnings. I will post all as finished

oh my, my, my. That are wonderful. Especially the wedding star. love the colors.

Those will be beautiful quilts! Keep on keeping on with them!

Love your blocks! Can't wait to see your completed quilts!

They both are great, but I love the wedding star block. Is that as hard as it looks? Such gorgeous colors.

love love love the Bali wedding star one. my favs are batiks so love them in this pattern.

Very nice beginnings! I love the colors in the wedding star!

Your Bali Wedding Star is gorgeous...Ive been wanting to that one for a long time...but if memory serves me right the pattern was ridiculously expensive...I know it includes the paper piecingpatterns, but still.... anyway..yours is truly beautiful.

Wonderful work!

Beautiful. As for the picture. Is it small enough to be uploaded?

My 2cents worth: the Bali Star is expensive. In this case you get what you pay for. It's a beautiful quilt and very complicated. The directions are very accurate and long for this complicated quilt. The paper pieces are beautifully made. It takes uninterupted concentration. The results are worth the challenge. And the creator of this pattern deserves the reward of their labor.

You go girl, you can do it. One block at a time and eventually it'll be done.

They should turn out great.

very nice blocks.....

Love both, the wedding star is so pretty.

very nice sunbonnet sue is on my to do list but seeing sam think I'll add him on the list with sue

Looks very difficul to me. I love it.

I love the wedding star. It looks a lot too complicated for my brain. The S and S are precious.

Wow can't wait to see your bali wedding star finished and Sue Bonnet and Overall Sam are sew cute!

Such totally different patterns - and they are both great!!!

Beautiful quilt. Great blocks.

How do you attach you Sues and Sams to the background block? I'm thinking of trying one of these someday soon.

You're not alone, I know I have way too many quilts going at once, but eventually they get done (I hope - LOL). I love your Bali Wedding Star - gorgeous.

Those are great...

Wow! they are all great.

I just started cutting out the paper for the Bali Wedding Star and putting off starting it. It looks hard, and is my
first paper piecing project. I hope I did not take on more than I can handle..at least I know who I can contact if I have any problems..It is just beautiful!! Maybe we can work on this together and see if we can get it finished!!

Very nice quilt patterns - I don't think I've ever seen the Bali Wedding Star pattern . . . beautiful. I really like Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam. Did you follow a pattern for Sue and Sam?

Those colors on the first one are fabulous. Sorry but I can't comment on the Sue quilt. lol (I've done her in too many times. Bad Me!)

Wow IB, lovely work!

It isn't really too difficult, but you have to stay very organized or you will make a mess. I am now an honorary member of the frog club. You know, ripit ripit ripit

Sounds like a wonderful idea to me. Is there a way you could do a couple of small paperpieced blocks of some kind before you actually start on it? If this is your first paperpiecing, you may get pretty frustrated. I am doing this one side by side with my BF and we are having fun with it. The instructions are very clear, just follow them to the letter. Read it all first, Take a deep breath and join us

The pattern is expensive, but well worth it

Your Bali is gorgeous!!!!! Love Sue and Sam! Need to get my Sue and Sam made.

You do very nice work.....can't wait to see the finished product!

I love that Bali Wedding Star! They are gorgeous, but unless they are completely paper pieced, I'm not even going to attempt one! Those arcs and curves make me crazy!!!

nice work!!!!!

Too darn funny---those are two of the quilts I have wanted to make for ages. Now to find the pattern for the Bali Wedding Star!! I have the accuquilt dies for Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam so I am not worried about those two. I need to make several of those!!! "Oh, a man may work from dusk to dawn but a woman's work is never done!!" lol Gosh, does that apply to quilting? I am now getting my hubby involved in piecing---he has been practicing the long arm quilting machine we have. It is far from a Gammill, but he is a natural. I never did see the finished projects. Darn it!! Peace and blessings, Vicki

Please post photos when you finish!

nice starts of quilts

I agree with GailG
