Happy Quilting Quilt-Along

Posted Saturday, August 20th, 2011 in Quilting | Tags: , , ,

I finished the Modern Row Robin quilt-along last week. My friend Kris told me of a new quilt-along that started this week. This is called Happy Quilting Quilt-Along. We are making 6 different stars in all, with 2 new stars introduced each week.

My plans are to make a table runner with the six different stars. The pattern calls for sashing around each block which is then cut at an angle to make the blocks “wonky”. Because I want to make a smaller project, I am not going to make my blocks “wonky”.

To see the directions or to join the quilt-along, visit this blog.

I have completed the first 2 blocks. Directions are given for each star in five different sizes. I chose the smallest size, 9 inch blocks.

Block 1

Block 2

New block patterns are added to the Happy Quilting blog on Mondays and Fridays. See you next week!
