Noone in my 3 guilds think someone is crazy for doing hand work. Am I lucky or what??? I areallly love Woody's stars.

Love it! Love it!! Love anything with blue. You might try thrift stores or even look at fat quarters in several stores....
Love stars too. I'm making star blocks for a GS graduating in 3 yrs. His brother the next yr, along with a GD. So I'm starting now, little at a time. Boys are hard to figure for but girls, no problem......

This is wonderful, i really like the way you have formed the blocks between the stars. Very impressive. I am making a blue and white dresden plate quilt at the moment and so enjoying the fresh colours. I am hand piecing them onto their white background. So rewarding doing handwork as well.

It's very pretty! I never SAW the stars til I re-read your post! lol I only saw the blocks, but maybe that's because I so want to do a tumbling block quilt.

Thanks everyone I am still plodding away slowly on this, I now have 14 blocks done, I haven't worked out my finished size yet, I suppose I will just keep going until I am sick of it LOL

Beautiful, don't know about the hand quilting. The arthritis boys wouldn't allow it on my end.

Me, too! You're off to a fabulous start! And my hat's off to you for the hand piecing. I love to do hand work (applique, needlework) but hand sewing drives me crazy (or would that be "crazier"? LOL!).

That is a perfect pattern for hand piecing and your work and colors are amazing! I shy away from those 60 degree angle patterns when I have to set-in y-seams by machine. I want to hand piece a grandmother's garden. I hope I can use my hands long enough to get that deep into my bucket list!
