I received this group of 10 stars plus some goodies from Sue last week. Aren’t they great?<\/p>\n

One thing I know about the Liberated stars is that the proportion of the star points need some attention otherwise the stars look weird. Sue has nailed that and her stars have a lot of movement. They look cheerfully wonky. I am thinking of using them around the edge of a quilt – not quite a border, but something similar.<\/p>\n

I also like the scrapiness of these blocks. I need to get started!<\/p>\n

Sandy, from Quilting for the Rest of Us<\/a> podcast, also sent some stars. Her color choices are fabulous! The yellow stands out against the blue wonderfully.<\/p>\n

I am also thrilled that so many people have made the Friendship Star. I hope it infuses the quilt with good feelings for the families.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Sandy and Sue for taking the time!<\/p>\n

Want to help<\/strong><\/em>? We are doing this project because one family we know from school and my husband\u2019s cousin were affected by the September 2010 San Bruno fire. We are making 3 quilts: one for our cousin and his wife, one for my son\u2019s friend and one for the parents of my son\u2019s friend.<\/p>\n

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 (8.5? unfinished) or smaller (we will work with any size)
\nRemember to sign your block!<\/p>\n

Deadline: End of March, but I can only piece one quilt at a time and all blocks will be used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
