My first Feathered Star
 

I have always favored "star" block over most other quilt blocks. This past "HOT" weekend, I stayed inside and tackled my first try at a Feathered Star block. I found a tutorial online and it was quite easy to follow along. Molly's Place: FEATHERED STAR TUTORIALsewhappy10000.blogspot.com/2010/05/feathered-star-tutorial.html

This is not the fabric I intended on using, but thought I best try with older fabric I didn't care for just in case it didn't work out the first time. BUT IT DID! I am tickled how easy it was to put together. My square is about 16" I remember thinking as I was putting this together how relaxed I felt creating this little ditty! Hope you like!

your picture didn't come through yet.


oops, there it is ;-) Very nice!

Excellent job - pointy points. Love the pattern.

Well done; thank's for the link on how to do it!

Very nice job! I have wanted to make one for a long time.
Thanks for sharing

You did a great job. Those are so pretty.

You have no head less points... :)

Definitely, I like! Very nice work. I like your quilting, too.

It's beautiful and your piecing is gorgeous!!!
At first glance it reminded me of a snowflake -- so good job all around.

Wow!! You did an awesome job, this is beautiful!!!

you did a really fantastic job! i love the feathered star and have a queen quilt of them on my bed - didn't make it, bought it at an unbelievably low price. i read through the tut and it seems very complicated. but the steps are written very well. congrats on your accomplishment.

Thank you for the tutorial. WOW. It's pretty complicated. It makes me appreciate the beautiful job you did all the more! You certainly have mastered the technique, your block is perfect. You certainly inspire me! Thank you for sharing!

Great job!

Very pretty!!!!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Wow!! that is sewww pretty. I'm going to save this page.

You did an AWESOME job. I love it. Thanks for sharing.

Wow - nice job! The points look great :)

You've done a terrific job on this! It is a beauty! Love this star, so may have to try this for myself. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful! Some day maybe....don't think it is something I could make well enough to be proud of.

Great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

Oh is that pretty. Yes so often something we don't think will work, turns out gorgeous like you feathered star

Thanks Y'all for all the compliments! Following the tutorial and looking at the pictures really made it easy peasy to put together. I starched all the fabric before cutting and I know that HELPED a great deal working with the small pieces. I also used the smaller , finer point needle which REALLY helped in sewing and getting points to match.
I'm trying to find another similar pattern online now to do! I really want a "SMALL" one with 1/2" or 3/4" feathers.
If you know where I can find one, please let me know!
Thanks again y'all !

Oh my - That is BEAUTIFUL!!!! Love the colors you used. Thanks for the info link on directions. Gonna give it a try. Again, Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice work. That pattern is on my must-do list, so thank you for the link--I'll take a look at it.

It's beautiful!

Gorgeous is the perfect way to describe this little gem! Your points are so precise... wow! And I have to disagree with you... this fabric is beautiful! All-in-all, I love your little snowflake star!
