I thought it would be so much fun to do a pieced quilt and started looking for a template pattern I could use. I found a whole bunch. Now I had to pick one, I did, the Friendship Star.
This is a real challenge to do because you have to make sure you get the pieces in just the right order or you have to tear out and start all over again. I got so frustrated I actually put the quilt away for quite a while because I felt I wasn't good enough to do one of this magnitude.
After a few months I got into this wonderful group called The Outlaw Quilters and got inspiration from them and decided I was just making this quilt harder than it really was. Once I got that into my head, the pieces all fell together and a quilt was born.
It's not as big as I hope it would be because I made a glaring mistake with ten of the blocks, but it's still big enough to be a large throw or a toddler's quilt.
Now it's time to put the batting and backing on it and get ready to start sewing so I can get it listed and hopefully sold.
I hope you all have a wonderful day!
