Just started a new scrappy quilt!

Just a quick post as I've become rather engrossed in a new patchwork quilt!

It's a Bright Stars Quilt from Michele Foster......It's a Quilt-Along....you can find the pattern here.

The quilt uses lots of 2.5" squares which I already have cut out....remember my holiday in Brittany last year where I took my Accuquilt and cut loads of squares from scraps!


I've been sorting them into lights and darks to make the bright stars quilt....


So far I've sewn some 2 patch units....


...and some 4 patch units.....


Next I'm making some HSTs so I can put a block together to make sure the pattern works with all my scrappy squares!

I'll be back soon to show you how it's going!

Thanks for popping by!

    1. It seems to be working now...I think there was a problem with the site earlier. It's the bright stars.

  6. I love this, makes me want to give it a try one day...
    As a person who's never quilted in her life it looks so difficult!
    But all those pretty pieces of fabric look so inviting...
    Lots of love from Mirjam.
