Today I'm so glad to be back in the land of the living. I'm still recovering, so I'm trying ease into things. (not easy for me!) Thankfully, I have my hand pieced stars to keep me busy.
If I make it a lap size I'm almost half done with the top! I am loving the process AND the results.
edited to add: the specifics of this quilt (including a link to the tutorial) can be found here.
About the last finish it up Friday post...sorry about the links getting cut off. I'm not sure what's up with that...I was able to access the last row of links (just barely) on my ipod, but not on my computer. Anyone know how to fix it? I'm afraid if I mess with the format, I'll loose all the links. I'll be sure to try to fix it on next week's post!
edited to add: if you place your cursor right after any of the numbers in the last column, then hit the TAB key, the links will show. thanks so much, Elaine!
Hope you are back on your feet soon. I love the stars!
ReplyDeleteWauh, your stars are great! Hope, you are better by now. It is always interesting to visit your blog.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling a bit better. Hope you didn't have that stomach bug that is going around! Only one in our house has had so far and I'm waiting to see who is next. Love those stars!
ReplyDeleteI had the same thing last Monday and it was awful! I am glad to hear you're feeling a little better. Love the stars!

Glad you're feeling better and that things around the house weren't worse the wear for you're being sick!
ReplyDeleteYour stars are quite lovely and inspiring!
Take care of yourself and thank you for hosting Fridays! I really look forward to them!
Love those 30's replicas! I have many of those same materials!!
ReplyDeletebeautiful stars! (so addictive, no?)
ReplyDeleteBeing sick is definitely no fun. Ease back gently!
ReplyDeleteThe stars. Oh, how pretty! I have a friend who has followed your lead and is so happy with having handwork. You are a pioneer!
I like your star quilt. I'm working on a six-pointed star quilt too and I'm wondering how to square it off. what are you doing with your quilt at the edges?
ReplyDeleteThe stars are so sweet. Hope your energy returns quickly. I was able to access the last column on my computer by placing the cursor right after the first number in the colum and pressing TAB. The cursor may not show on your screen after placed. Hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteLovin' the stars! Glad you're feeling better.
ReplyDeletebrenda,
ReplyDeletei don't know what i'm going to do with the edges. they kinda scare me...
aj
sorry to hear you were sick. Love your star quilt.....I think it looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a beautiful quilt, it looks very clean and pure somehow... I would make it as big as you can!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better. I hate the ishies, blegh. Your stars are looking fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteLove the stars! For the edges, I'd add some half stars and some white diamonds to the outside edges to make it even. Then you can decide if you want to add a border to that or not.
It's no fun being sick, but so nice you were able to rest. Love the stars.
ReplyDeleteThe stars are great! This is going to be a really gorgeous quilt!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're feeling better. Hope no one else has gotten sick in your home!
Take care!

ReplyDeleteI tried putting curser as Elaine stated and it was not helpful, may just be my computer
Glad you are on the mend. The stars are looking fantastic. I can't wait to see it finished.
ReplyDeleteThat is just beautiful!! Surely such beauty must make you feel a little better. Hope you get well soon!
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better soon. Thanks for organising Finish Up Friday. I've participated these past two weeks and it's been fun to see what everyone else has been up to and exploring plenty of new and lovely blogs that I hadn't found before.
ReplyDeleteSick stinks, but glad you're feeling better!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful! I love it. I am glad you are feeling better. Yuck. My hubby and daughter let me sleep until 10:30 am on Sunday, and boy did it feel good!
ReplyDeletesorry to hear you were sick, but your stars are ADORABLE!!!
ReplyDeletei'm so happy you're still loving this project!

p.s. i don't even think my husband knows where our washing machine is..
Your stars are stunning...did I read this correctly? You are hand sewing? They are just perfect!
ReplyDeleteYours stars are amazing! I have yet to hand stitch anything like that, what patience you must have! Hope you continue to get well! Smiles~Beth
ReplyDeleteI love your stars! What would I google to get the pattern for these! They are adorable... I almost like them better than the hexagons.
ReplyDeleteDonna
oh... glad your feeling better too!
The stars look so pretty! Glad you're on the mend :)
ReplyDeleteIt isn't any fun being sick! I have been sick for 4 days and today I feel better... and hubby says DO THE TAXES!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should have feigned being sick today too!
WOW these stars are beautiful. Maybe one day...
ReplyDeleteYour stars are wonderful! Makes me wish I had the patience for hand piecing...

Your stars are beautiful! So glad you are on the mend, and have a sweet project to ease you back into things :)
ReplyDeletePS - Linky issue - if you edit your collection in inlinkz, to neatfit, it will auto-format for you. And you can do it at any time without messing it up!
Everytime you show this WIP, I love your stars more. I have a pile of baby-gro hexes waiting to be assembled, but i love these stars!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is amazing!! Hope you are fully recovered!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better! I have four stars made, so you are doing so much better than me!
ReplyDeleteHave you considered adjusting the margins of your blog? It might correct the disappearing edge of the links...
ReplyDelete(Click on 'Design'...
then 'template designer'...
then 'adjust widths'...)
I'm so glad you're feeling better!! I love your stars....they certainly make the spirits lift!
ReplyDeleteLooks really good:)
ReplyDeleteHope you feel 100% soon! :) I love those stars, although I don't think I would have the patience to hand stitch all of those :) It looks beautiful though!
ReplyDeleteSometimes, our bodies just interrupt our whirling activity, don't they? Glad you're taken it easy as you're feeling better. It'll lessen the chance of relapse (and give you more time to work on that gorgeous quilt!).
ReplyDeleteLove this star quilt! Hope you're up and running soon but don't rush it.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like alot of work
ReplyDeleteThank you so, so much for this! I have been looking for 2+ years for this very 6-pointed star!
