I retired from my job of the last 27 years this past February with no regrets! With my new-found time, I am checking out the offerings at the local Senior Center. Lo and behold, they offer quilt classes (Only $10 for 4 classes this month!), run by one of my fellow Quilt Guild members. The project this month focuses on Lone Star blocks as laid out in the Quilter's Academy Book #4 by Harriet Hargrave. Even though I've already done a giant queen-size lone star quilt, there is always something new to be learned -- and projects, and fellowship.
This is what I did on Week 1. It doesn't seem like much, but the directions were a little wonky, and we spent a fair amount of time re-interpreting them to get the desired result.
This is what it should have directed us to do: Make the 45-degree cuts in the same direction.
Once these stars are complete, I think I might add them to a canvas tote bag ... Or a jean jacket?
Stay tuned ...
