Last Blocks are now finished for the Women of Courage Quilt! Block 11 is one block style but in two different colors for two different women. The blue star blocks are for Rosa Parks, and the red star is for Madeleine de Vercheres.
The stars start with preparing the flying geese in two different sizes. One size will be used in the middle of the stars and the larger size will be used in making the outer sides of the middle block.
Once all the flying geese made I start assembling the blocks, by adding the squares to each side of the geese.
Then after the middle block was assembled I add the outer border to the middle to combine the block. I made 4 of the blue.
The red block was done the same way, but I only had one to make of them. (bad picture)
The final blocks are done now and I can start assembling this block next week, so exciting.
Hope everyone has a great sewing weekend!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Mine went to fast it seems like. Saturday, my husband had to work so I spent the day adding products and content to the new site. We are very close to finishing now, I found a few bugs to be fixed but we are in the home stretch. Sunday, was a productive day in the house, cleaning wise, about every room got a cleaning except for my oldest son, Patrick's room. He is response able to clean his room. Felt great to get all that done. I even did a little clean and organization in the sewing room. Time to get back in there and make it unclean again.
The end of last week, I finished a new little wall hanging kit that I pick up about a year ago at the Virginia Quilt Show, in Hampton. This one will be for my sewing room, once i get it quilted and binded. The kit comes from Block Party Studios, it came a panel and fabric. I just need to get the backing, I will look for that in my stash.
It is started with this panel, which I love. Then they have you make star block, stack of fabric, spool blocks and flying geese.
The stack of fabric under the star block, is foundation piecing on a piece of muslin. It was very interesting to make doing it that way. But it definitely came out cute. I will add some color and life to my white walls in the sewing room.
Today, I'm planning to get some sewing done. I got a new block for the Kansas City Star BOM, i will be doing. I'm still working on how I want to quilt the Star Burst table topper. I'm leaning toward feathers. So, I may be quilting on that this afternoon.
Have a Great Monday, hope you all can do some sewing and quilting today!

Life
has been crazy the last couple weeks. I been working hard on
completing and finishing up several quilts for the patterns we have in
final stages of development. We hope to be going to the printers here
in the next couple weeks. 
The customer requested a star design pantograph. 
So we found "Star Dance" on the Digi-Tech Designs website. The batting that I used was Quilters Dream Black Poly with Superior So Fine Thread.
