AKA BB for short. I made pretty good progress yesterday. I really appreciate all the comments and suggestions. After considering it all, I have decided to add 5″ borders and keep the center to 100 blocks. I am working the top in 25 block quarters. My house is a decent size but I do not have the space to lay everything out. This makes placing the stars a bit difficult. Here are two of the quarters I have pieced so far.
And here is the next section that I hope to get together today before work:
The color in these pics is pretty true, just slightly faded. I need to find border, binding, and backing fabric yet. Based on Vicki’s comment, I decided to go with a blend for the batting. I have Hobb’s 80/20 on hand so that may be it.
Until next time…



Absolutely gorgeous! laying it out is the hardest part, 🙂
Oh, my! The star points add sooo much to the block. I just *love* it!!
Love how this is coming together. The stars really add to the beauty.
