Thank you sooooooooo much for all your hard work. I know that you worked super hard to finish it for all of us before tomorrow.

You do such neat squares and love your quilts :mrgreen: The tutes are always very easy to understand :lol:

Thanks for sharing :thumbup:

Thank you, Sharon. I'm glad you like them.

I have all my pieces cut out now for the star block that I'm making. The top row is my A's (3") squares. The middle is the C's (2 1/2") squares. The bottom row is my D (4 1/2")
square.

i love it! i see at least one of these in my very near future! :-)

Ahhhhhh GEeeessshhhhhhh YOU DID IT TO ME!

Another Project for my Wanna Do Someday List! Gonna Bookmark it

Thanks!!!!

Your directions are very clear. Also, the quilt is lovely. This is going on my "to do" list. Thanks

I'm going to have to try and make this. I just graduated from College with my bachelors degree (I'm 54) and was looking for a project to start. I'm relatively new to quilting so my confidence level isn't that great but I think I could do this. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations of the graduation!!!! Now on to the quilting!!!
:) :) :)

danmar, thanks so much for the quilt pattern. It looks great!!! :) :) :)

Thanks. The only problem is that I still have to work in order to make money in order to buy stuff to quilt with. Oh well, one goal at a time. Got the degree, got a sewing machine, got fabric....WILL get to retire some day but I'm not going to wait that long before I do a quilt. :) I've done one or two but that's a long story.

Thanks for the instructions. It looks beautiful, can't wait to start making one. :thumbup:

Beautiful. Will bookmark as I have a lot on at present. Thanks.

You are really talented!! That is a really neat quilt! :wink:

This is just great!! Thanks for the great instructions!

Thank you for the tute :D:D:D
I will be coming back to keep up as you go along!!!

Hi Bonnie,

Congratulations on your graduation! I'm 54 too! This pattern should be pretty simple to make, even beginner's. The hardest part would probably keeping the colors all straight. :lol:
Good luck with it! Post pictures.
Marilyn

I would also like to try it, I have quite a few ahead of it. Maybe one day. Yours is very pretty, I saw it on another thread on here.

If you are interested in seeing the blocks I am making now to make this quilt, instead of just a drawing, here is the link to my current WIP.

Thanks for the tute. You did a good job. Love the quilt. Beautifal. I book marked it for whenever I get done my UFO's.
Is that possible? :shock:

I'm really not sure. They just seem to multiply! :lol:

Neet diogram, I'm marking this for me, after I get mar fabric. Theresse

I'm definately bookmarken' too..thanx

Hi! Well, I have started making this block now so I thought I'd post some pictures. This first picture is of my half squares that I did. 4 of each color are pressed toward the dark and the other 4 pressed toward the light. That way they go together right with the seams facing the right direction.

Next, I lay out the 9 patches for the corners. I get them all messed up somehow if I don't. LOL I have started sewing the 9 patches. On the right are the extra 8- 2 1/2" squares that need sewed into pairs for the Unit 1's.

Yes, I do very much like your fabric choices, the colors in them and the way they come together.
Thank-you for doing the tutorial. Your steps are easy to relate to and follow. I enjoy the way you are teaching us.

Thank you very much. I like doing the tutorials or whatever I can to show other people how to do things. I'm a helper at heart. I'm glad that my steps are easy to understand.

Happy Quilting,
Marilyn

Here are my next steps. I am now done with the half squares and the pairs for Unit 1's. I am also done making the 9 patches. Next I made the HST's that are to the center of the block. Then we have our pairs to put in, then I need to sew the outer HST's. Then sew the 3 parts together, 4 times, to make your 4 Unit 1's.

Now I have my 4 Nine Patches and my 4 Unit 1's done. I lay it all out as pictured, then sew the left and middle together, then add the right side. Then just sew the 3 rows together and Voila! the block will be finished!

That's gorgeous. Love the colors of your block, they appear vibrant. This is a great one.

Thank you! I think so too. It is my favorite block so far.

Alright! Here is the completed Star Block. I have to make one more Star before I can make the Chain block. As usual, the picture looks completely different when I use Auto and then use Daylight. Here is a picture from each setting again. Talk to you later. I better clean house now. LOL

OH, BTW, the Daylight setting is the closest to the correct colors. I love this block. I love the colors. The Auto setting seems to give everything a blue tint. Does anyone know about cameras? lol just kidding.

A funny thing happened when I went back to this post. The first time, I didn't get the last 2 pictures, so I went back and clicked on the link again and got one picture, then went back and did it again, and got both pictures. Looking at the floor colors, you can see how the floor color is even washed out in the second picture. Something to remember when taking pictures. Both pictures show a beautiful block. Thanks for all of the work in sharing this quilt with us.

Probably because you happened to log into this thread at the same time that Danmar was uploading her next installment <g> ain't computering fun!?!?! LOL

I LOVE your color choices, Danmar .. rich and bold - - that is sooo fine!
Am loving this tutorial <wave>

Your colors are beautiful together :thumbup:

Hi Janis and Omak!
That is what I was thinking Omak. Janis must have come along while I was uploading the pictures. I always think about that, if someone will look before I get the pictures uploaded. Then, one night it happened. Someone saw my post, no pictures which were suppose to be there, and posted or PM'd me (I don't remember which) and asked if I forgot them? It was funny!

I am glad that you are loving this tutorial. It is fun making it. And you are quite welcome for the 'work' I do to put it online.
It's not work to me though. I love it. I like to share, to help other people, and show everyone how to do things. Doing tutorials is right up my alley! LOL OK--I'm done.

Thanks again for all of your interest, compliments and comments. It really is appreciated and let's me know that you people out there also appreciate it.
Marilyn

I think one of the things you did was to give us a heads up by posting a link to the next tutorial on the last one you did, if I remember correctly.
It was so cool!
I was watching this beautiful bargello and the finale and then you started the next one and linked from the bargello to this one! I was able to just click on that link and click on "watch" and when you got to all the work, I got the notifications - - such a big help and encouragement.

Something I was thinking about <g> Cutebuns did a mystery quilt in a day ... I can't remember how many of us there were, but she was right there to post pictures on the hour, and then she answered any questions ... what an amazing process.
I may have to post that link so that you can go from here to there ... what made me think about her mystery quilt was this tutorial reminded me of a mystery quilt.
It is quite a challenge for the "audience" to do something besides just read the pages and look at the pictures! LOL
at any rate .... either way, you are creating a beautiful quilt and are such an encouragement to the rest of us <wave>
