Star Light Star Bright QAL Fabrics

Happy Friday, everyone!

Melissa over at Happy Quilting has once again designed a great quilt-along for everyone called Star Light Star Bright. This is a weekly QAL with the cutting instructions posted this week.

For this project, I’m going to make the 3 block by 3 block baby quilt size. I found some wonderful Charley Harper fabrics that I’m going to use along with some other bird/fall themed prints that I think will work well together.

Here’s a look at my fabrics before cutting. They looked so pretty that I almost hated to cut them!

See the beautiful red cardinals peeking out in the back? I’m saving that piece for something special!

You know that you need to take a break from cutting fabric when your quilt inspector jumps onto your cutting table and gives you this look:

Time to Stop Cutting Fabric!

I finished cutting all my pieces this afternoon. Here they are all lined up nice and pretty:

    5. Oh my goodness! Melissa stole the words from me. I think this is going to be stunning. The fabrics go so well together that I thought for sure until I saw your list that you had gotten them all from the same line of fabric.

    6. I know that look of the quilt inspector — my cat gives me the same look! Your fabric choices are scrumptious!
