Ready for borders...

I was able to finish the blocks and get the center of the quilt put together. Tomorrow I can add the borders and look for a backing fabric. Then I'll be ready for my Feather Class with Karen Kendo next Friday.

Kitty feathered star...

The first block is done! These blocks are large, they measure twenty-two inches unfinished. I have the other eight blocks ready to assemble. Looks like I will get the blocks done by the weekend.

This is the pattern that I used and I highly recommend it. Edyta Sitar's directions for putting together this feathered star is very easy to follow. I loved her method and may use it to make some smaller stars.

Wednesday progress...

 Still sewing the parts to my feathered stars. I think that I now have all the parts cut out.

So, now the hardest part is getting the HST all turned the correct way. Each component of the star contains a right and a left unit. I think it will take another week to finish all these units. The final quilt top has nine stars and there are hundreds of two inch HST in it. But since I have always wanted to make one of these quilts it is worth the time it takes to make. I plan to use the quilting technique I learn on Friday Jun. 15th & Saturday Jun. 16th with Karen Kendo on how to quilt feathers to quilt this top. I wonder if I can finish this top by next Thursday? Back to sewing...

Design Wall Monday...

Or in my case "Design Table".

I know that I shouldn't start a new project, but I just could not resist. This fabric and pattern was calling to me.
