      After many hours of work
       I am beyond excited to bring my
      Stars of Peace: Sestercentennial Sampler
      quilt pattern to you!
      Lots of information in this post
      so please read to the end.

      I am very proud of my 
      family's military service
      and of all the military members
      and their families
      that sacrifice much 
      more than most will ever know.

      I will be highlighting some
      not-so-well-known heroes of 
      the Revolutionary War each month

      Summer on the Porch Throw Quilt in Nana Mae 8 Fabrics! from Busy Hands Quilts

      The Summer on the Porch quilt pattern was selected to feature the Nana Mae 8 fabric collection by Henry Glass, and I was super excited when they sent me the fabric to sew up a quilt sample!  This fabric collection is a mix of 30s-style feedsack florals in the sweetest colors.  Because all of the prints are colors and there are no neutrals in this collection, it was super easy to use with a creamy white background.

      The Summer on the Porch quilt pattern is fat quarter friendly and includes four quilt sizes.

      Squeezing a few oranges from The Academic Quilter

       Hi all, and welcome to the last day of May! How did this even happen? Where did the month go? I can't explain it either, except that it looks like June is on the horizon and then summer will be in full swing. Before May is completely over with, I thought I should probably post the last of my orange stars and other orange blocks. These oranges haven't been particularly juicy, but they are certainly bright! 

      I did not have a lot of orange, but I did manage to squeeze out a few blocks. Let's start with ...

      Purple blocks in the rain from The Academic Quilter

      Hello everyone, from a very rainy and foggy Baltimore. I could barely see outside this morning. At least it's warm. We had record highs this week, which I can't say I enjoyed, but the sunshine felt great. Everything outside seems on the verge of growing out of control, too. So now it's the weekend, and of course the rain is here to help all those plants.

      I had a very busy week, and I didn't get a chance to take pictures of my purple blocks until this morning, but I did finally get a decent shot ...

      Black and White, but not all over from Art In Search

            Long ago, I participated in a star swap with Barb Vedder. It used black and white prints in the center and solids for the stars. They came out lovely. I made some extra. And then they sat until I figured out what to do with them to make a quilt.


           Adding another row of flying geese all around, making a star within a star, looked appealing to me. I had to scrounge to find enough different solids. I make my Flying Geese with the Easy Angle and the Companion Ruler. If I cut right, no trimming, YAY!


           However, I arrived ...

      Sparkly stars from The Academic Quilter

       Hi everyone! Somehow, it was 72 degrees here today. Has someone checked to be sure it's November? I know some people have had snow already, but it looks like we're sticking with rain and above average temperatures for the next little bit. Totally okay with me, except for the leaves that keep falling.
       
      I've got a finished top to show off today. It's my stars top from this year's rainbow scrap challenge, and I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. Here she is:
