Star Struck and Old Tabacco Road

I have finished with the embellishments on the crazy block for Linda's bag swap and should be working on the bag.... but... I need a little break from it. Plus, I haven't decided on a pattern for the bag... I'll probably make it up as I'll go along.... and that takes a bit of using the old noggle on my part....

Besides, I haven't touch my sewing machine for the last two weeks... I need a sewing fix! :D


I have this leaders/enders project that I've been working on for more than two years now. It's another Quiltville pattern, Star Struck. The fabrics came from swapping 5" squares with the Nickels Yahoo group. The subunits were done awhile back and sat on my desk staring at me all summer long. It is time to put these units into blocks then into a flimsy....





Onto to the border.... the plan is to use all of the leftover yellow and purple squares in the border..... something along the line of a piano keys.... and maybe a little bit of applique???.... We'll see.... :o)






The next Quiltville Mystery, Old Tabacco Road, is starting tomorrow. Am I doing this one? Probably yes.... but not until toward the end of October... I need to focus on completing all of my swap commitments first. In the mean time, I am looking forward to see everyone else's quilt.

Rhonda, your Star Struck quilt is wonderful! Can't wait to see the borders next. I'm going to wait a bit before doing the next mystery, too.
