Hi everyone!
Wow, is the summer going by fast! We’re down to the last 2 weeks before school starts up again. I have all the school supplies purchased for my soon-to-be 3rd grader, and he’s getting excited to see his friends again. I’m having a hard time fitting in my quilty projects, but squeezed in a few evening sewing sessions this week to complete my star centers for the Star Surround QAL. Look for the QAL button on the right-hand side of my blog to join the fun!
I’m using the Mama Said Sew fabric by Sweetwater for this project along with Essex Yarn Dyed in Black for the background by Robert Kaufman. I really like the look of these fabrics together.
Here are my blocks in a “shooting” star formation and then grouped in a 3×3 format:
Next week, the QAL schedule calls for building onto these center star blocks.
Enjoy!

I am seriously smitten with this quilt – – absolutely love the fabric choices!
What fabric did you use for your gray background? I love the texture in it! All the blocks look great!
The background is Essex Yarn Dyed in Black, although it really does look more gray with bits of white showing. I’ve been wanting to use this fabric for a while so I’m very happy that I joined this QAL. Here’s a linky to the other Essex Yarn Dyes . . . so pretty! http://www.robertkaufman.com/fabrics/essex_yarn_dyed/
Ah…I should have known . I love the Essex collection but just don’t always recognize it right off the bat. Thanks for the info!
I really love your fabrics. It’s looking great!
They look fantastic!!! Great job. Your points are just perfect, so pretty!! And I just love the groupings you have chosen.
