Sunday Stars

Hopefully I will get this top loaded on the frame today and maybe even start on the machine quilting.

This will be a model at Colorz.
The focus fabric is really beautiful--you know I love me some birds!
The second "half" star for Stars in the Garden is complete..... 

.....and  some components for the full stars are basted and stitched.

I also put together some "kits" for the last three full stars.
It seemed kind of inefficient to keep pulling out fabrics for each round.
When I came across some hexagon flowers that had been stashed away I decided to put them to use as star centers.
I'll be doing my hexagon basting while watching the finale of Arthur and George on PBS and maybe I will even get around to The Fall on DVD.

    Beautiful fabric for sure. Looks great as your alternate block! I just started Arthur and George so far so good but a bit slow for my husband.

    Ya, I agree with the other comments made about your bird fabric. Such a great idea to place it into your other blocks. Hexie idea is a good one. Funny how we miss the very practical ideas until they in front of our face.

    That's a great print and really pulls the quilt together. Hope you've had time to get to the machine quilting.

    If you were a fabric shop you'd have sold yards of the bird fabric by now. It's such a fabulous fabric and a great way to incorporate it into your quilt. It's lovely seeing the hexies turn into stars.
