Quilty Stars

 I started on a new quilt.  

My friend Mel, spurred me on.  

She and I like to choose a quilt and then both make one.

  She is in Colorado and I am in Michigan, but it is fun to "work together" from a distance.  

Since this is one I was planning on making for a wedding gift

 it seemed like a great plan to get a jump on it. 

 I have a few others I "need" to do but this is the only wedding one I have for 2021 (so far) 

and no new baby quilts. 

I have one more family quilt to make and am still deciding on a pattern.

 I feel like once this one is done I may have a little breathing room to finish up some WIPs and maybe even begin something I actually want to do just because!

Have you seen the Quilty Stars pattern? 

 It is so cute.  

Of course you ^know^ the colors I have to use right?? 

 Gray and white.  

This is the center and then there are HST to make the star points.

I have those all sewn and trimmed.

This one was "helping" me trim my HST

I had to keep moving his back legs to turn the mat.

He was SOOOOOOO tired after all his helping!

I am excited to get time to work on this soon. 

 My other friend Traci has a shop and sent me a baby quilt to make for her shop. 

 I have all of the blocks finished.

I cut something incorrectly so am waiting for a bit more fabric.
