Stars for San Bruno Thursday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have been expecting some blocks from Chris<\/a> and SherriD<\/a>. I was gratified to find them in my mailbox today! We are getting quite a little collection. We now have 25 blocks. I think 5 more and I could make the 3 quilts. I would like more blocks, because some of the blocks are small, but I could make the quilts with 30 blocks total.<\/p>\n

Chris is the first one to do applique’ and I really like her blocks. They are very friendly looking. I hope I get at least one more applique’ block so each quilt can have one. 7 more would be ideal ;-), then I can put 3 applique’ blocks in each quilt. The background on Chris’ blocks is exactly what I was imagining for this quilt. I met Chris when she came to CQFA<\/a> and then we met up at the Modern Quilt Guild meeting as well. She has a great blog<\/a>. She writes very thoughtfully and had some interesting posts about design classes she has taken recently.<\/p>\n

\"SherriD<\/a>

SherriD, from the Lazy Quilter blog<\/a>, has come through with four more blocks. I don’t know why Sherri named her blog the Lazy Quilter, because she doesn’t seem to be lazy to me. Have you seen her U is for Unicorn quilt<\/a>? WOW! These new blocks mean I can use them as a kind of border on one side of the one of the quilts. This puts Sherri up to a total of 6 blocks (I think). Isn’t she great? I secretly hope she makes more as I think these blocks will look really good in the quilt. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I am planning on bringing my Around the Block book, some dark blue fabric and some yellow fabric so people can make some blocks at an upcoming retreat I am attending. I hope they will take the opportunity to sew.<\/p>\n

I am going to get the Young Man to make a block, too. He refuses to sew, but I am thinking he could paint and then I could print the star on fabric. I haven’t done it yet, but it is on my mind. I may assign that task to my mom.<\/p>\n

Want to help<\/strong><\/em><\/span>? I am thrilled at how many people are making a\u00a0 block or two. Do you want to contribute some blocks?<\/p>\n

All star blocks are welcome!<\/p>\n

Block background: dark blue
\nBlock design: Yellow star (any pattern, technique, eg. embroidery, painting, silkscreen, etc)
\nBlock size: 8? finished or smaller (we will work with any size)
\nRemember to sign your block!<\/p>\n

Deadline: TBA, probably around the end of March<\/p>\n
