Happy Last day of March!! It felt very weird to put the first quarter blog calendar away.... it has so much written on it and the next quarter.... is blank!!! Oh boy!!! How exciting!!
Quilts of Valor is hosting a 20 Stars for 20 Years Quilt a long, and it looks like a pretty cool quilt. You had to sign up, I did, and this time I read the emails to find the pattern in my QOV log in page... I tell you what.
I am turning over a WHOLE new leaf!! I am going to learn to follow instructions someday!!
So - I started on the First step - I am half way thru step Number 1
I think this is going to look pretty cool!!! Can't wait to keep going...
I have also gotten in the Spring cleaning mode... cleaned out the Hay shed, vacuumed up the feed barn... The Surprise Scraps are going to Vicki in MN... Its awesome!!! I hope I stick with it for a few more weeks...
So now!!! It is your turn - Brag away!! Show us what you have finished or Not Finished....
I'm excited to check it out!!
That is a great block. Why follow instructions when you can come up with something better yourself anyway? :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty block! I love the dark blue with fireworks on it. Are you going to be making 20 different stars? That will be fun to see
ReplyDeleteNice block. It's fun to change up patterns.
ReplyDeleteThe new design is stunnning--nice work on your new start!
ReplyDeleteLove the start of the new QOV. Great block.
ReplyDeleteIt is crazy to me that we are already at the last day of March. Time is flying this year, but the weather hasn't caught on to the fact that it is spring yet, haha. Maybe that's why it feels so strange to me. You are doing great on all your spring cleaning and the block looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteyour block is dynamic! thank you for having us to your party!

Love the block design. Very pretty! No spring cleaning here - although it is needed. Just gardening. And taxes.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful block. Following directions is hard when we "know" so much. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't...always looking for quick ways to make something...that is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt star! Your spring cleaning is inspiring. Maybe I'll manage to clean off a surface or two in the sewing room today!
ReplyDeleteHi Alycia, good luck with your block, spring cleaning and planning :-) Take care.
ReplyDeleteReally like that first block for your 20 stars project. Good luck with the spring cleaning. I'm still in decluttering mode, I'm beginning to wonder if that will ever end?
ReplyDeleteLove your first block, Alycia!!! It's about to explode!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat star block! I wonder if the diamond units could be made more easily if each diamond was made out of two isosceles triangles.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful block, Alycia. I especially like it for a Quilt of Valor.
ReplyDeleteReading one of your previous posts.... I'm so sorry about your dad and having to sort his home. It's a hard thing to do, with so many emotions involved. Take good care.
