This is the quilt that I'm working on now.

I love it. Really nice colors.

Very nice!

danmar, you quilt colors & layout are fantastic. What color will your border be? I'm a tad afraid of stars, but folks like you make them look easy. I promise I'll try at least one star before long. Are you in the Doll Quilt Swap for March. It's a lots of fun & we're assigned a partner to make a small quilt for. Lot of chatting back & forth & good way to get to know our partners, as well as other board members. TTUL..............

Love the fabric, pattern and well ... all of it :mrgreen: Did you work from a pattern or make it up yourself ? Great Job :thumbup:

Love it! You are doing a great job on that one! I can't wait to see it finished!

Ooooo, how pretty is that!!!

I took a picture of the border material. Thank you for the compliments. These stars are all made out of half squares and are very easy to do. I'll take a close up picture of the star and post it. I'm sure that you would be able to do them. I'll PM you.

Your quilt is going to be beautiful. Love the colors and design!

Lovely! I am always a sucker for blue and white quilts, and this is a very nice one! :) ~Marilyn [Mims]

Oops! I lied! I'm sorry! I was thinking of a different quilt that I made when I said that the stars were made out of half squares.
This one has Flying Geese and half squares. I took a picture of it and one of the half square blocks. (The half square one is easier to do, I think.) Here's the Pictures.

I saw this pattern in a magazine but I didn't like their pattern. The pattern was for a 14" block, (too big!), and it was more of an applique pattern. You just cut the 8 points out in one piece each, and then used spray adhesive to glue them to a 14 1/2" square of white material, then zig zagged around them. I decided to just make my own regular 8 point star blocks, in a nice 9" block. Then I adjusted the Square-in-a-Square block to a 9" block too, and TA-DA! I have the quilt I wanted out of their idea.

Very lovely...my favorite colors!!

That is very nice.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH EVERYBODY!!!

Very pretty. Love the pattern.

Beautiful!

very pretty!

Love your quilt and great job in making the pattern fit your needs.

Love the quilt - my favourite colour, but I like the other star too.

Just wondering....have you ever made a "mistake"? Your work and color combo's look perfect! I am really amazed at your beautiful work

I love it, very nice piece work you are doing a great job!

Great job! I enjoy seeing the way your blocks have a 1/4 inch leeway for the seams so you don't lose your points. No matter what I do, I never seem to see that in my blocks!

Looks beautiful!!!

Lovely, it is so relaxing looking.

so nice.

What a gorgeous quilt.

Love, love, love it.

Awesome! That is looking fantastic!

Oh yes! Would you like to see an example? These 2 fabrics went together.....until I made a block out of them. Now they are orphans in my "orphan block" drawer. Eventually I'll make a quilt out of all of my orphans. Not all my orphans are mistakes. Some are extras or just changed my mind or whatever. Thank you for liking my work and calling it beautiful!

Actually, yes, but not together! I like the idea of orphan blocks, instead of file 13 filler!

Wonderful job! Your points are so perfect too!

Really nice!! I can see that you do not shy away from the more complex patterns. Good for you!!! They come out looking great.

very creative. So do you have the pattern? It would be good to use scraps for.

Yes, it is a great pattern for scraps! I've made several of these quilts. I made each of the blocks in this quilt with the same colors, but it would be just as pretty with all the blocks being different except for the main row, 'chain' running through it.
The website quilterscache has the pattern. Here's a link to the page.

I love it.

Wow - gorgeous!! Is there a trick to achieving perfect points? I'm a newbie...or is it practice practice practice :) Kim

That looks FABULOUS!!! :thumbup:

Yeah i would like to know the trick to getting perfect points. How big did this turn out
