Zodiac Stars - Halfway Point

Today I thought I'd show you the progress so far on the Zodiac Quilt that I'm making for my niece's graduation.  Here are the first six large stars and the angel...

 

 

 

And here are all the blocks laid out together so far.  The angel will actually end up in one of the corners with the Tardis in the middle.

 

I love this quilt so much so far!!!  I'll have three more of the little stars done tonight.  So much detailed paper piecing in this one but it will be so worth it when it's finished.

Today I'll be linking up with Quilt Story for Fabric Tuesday, I Have to Say for Show and Tell Tuesday, Freemotion by the River for Linky Tuesday, and Blossom Heart Quilts for Sew Cute Tuesday.  And Wednesday with Sew Fresh Quilts for Let's Bee Social and Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday. And Thursday with My Quilt Infatuation for NTT.

Trimming HST's - Paris Quilt

I had a pretty good weekend, mostly spent with friends.  When I wasn't with my friends, I was trimming up those HST's for the Paris quilt...

Those 800+ HST's aren't going to trim themselves!  Actually, considering they have been a back-burner project, they are amazingly almost done so I can start sewing with them.  What did you work on this weekend?

Linking up today with Patchwork Times for Design Wall Monday, Monday Makers with Aylin-Nilya, BOM's Away with What A Hoot Quilts, Monday Makers at Hug a Bit Quilts, and Main Crush Monday at Cooking Up Quilts.

Not So Last Minute Christmas Quilt Along - Star of Bethlehem

I cannot believe it is May already!  This year is seriously flying by.  And May means we are working on the Star of Bethlehem block for our Not So Last Minute Christmas Quilt Along!!  I don't know about you, but I've been looking forward to this block.  It is so pretty!  Here is Julianna's version of the block....

 

Don't you just love the shooting star effect?  Julianna is seriously so talented.  I'm so happy she's letting us do this quilt along!!  So here's the link to Julianna's original post for the block and here's a link to the pattern.  Don't forget to turn off the scaling.  I'll see you on the last day of the month for our link up!

Speaking of which, here's the link for our April link up.  Grab a button!  We've only done 4 blocks so far so definitely time to join in.
