How uplifting it was to wake up this morning to wake up to all of these wonderful comments, I too have come to the realisation that it is the beauty of the hearts that we are receiving as well as the beauty of the fabrics and it doesn't really matter if they are a little wrinkled or not quite the right color or whatever else it is the story of the people and their hearts that makes it up. This quilt I will be keeping, to roll myself up in and dream of all that life has bestowed on the givers out there. Ritzy your little block is great and I wonder if you would mind if I used the picture of it to try out Margo's instructions for uploading, thank you both, hope it works

Dear Sisters & Brothers (even though I haven’t seen or heard from any of them);

Did someone say something about we now need to send a chair to catch our HST’s?? What kind of chair do we need to send and what do we need to send it in? :lol: Just joking. . keep on smiling, this is fun! I can’t wait for you to get some of my HST’s and for me to get some of yours; however many I may get or whatever shape they are in! Mine happen to be VERY nice, one might even say stupendous. . . if I may say so myself, so if I get some of my own back that’s okay with me!! Okay, I will admit my husband says I exaggerate a bit, moderately, okay maybe more than moderately! Anyway, I am enjoying myself and I hope ya’ll are too! Sew a w a y . . .

Dawn;

I have one question, how did you get some of my HST’s when I haven’t mailed them in yet? Just joking! I love what you have done with them! Good idea!

If you aren't sure of your 1/4" sewing or your accuracy in cutting or pressing, you might want to check out my "TEST"!

It only takes a few minutes and might save you some aggravation! http://good-times.webshots.com/album/569415726bHNKHF

Thank you Margo! You are so quick! I had just gone through the forums to find the reference for that HST with the lines, then when I came back here to comment, THERE IT WAS! Your drawing on that HST is what got me started! Thank you again!!!

Dawn,

Are you planning on doing these tiny stars for your entire HST quilt or were you just trying it out? Since I still struggle with accurate 1/4" seams on large blocks, I can't even imagine working with such itsy-bitsy pieces that look so perfect. You must have very good eyesite and a very good light on your machine...plus a lot of patience.

Debbie
Once you do a few minatures, your accuracy improves immensely. Doing minatures teaches you the accuracy of 1/4" seam. Also, when doing minatures, use the Aurufil thread, it is 50wt. The thinner the thread, the more accurate your minatures are.

When cut into fourths like this your units will measure 3/4" x 3/4" when finished! WONDERFUL DESIGN DAWN!

And thanks go to Annis for the suggestion to miniaturize the HSTs!!

WOW! I'd never thought about that, but you do that with any size HST. Learn something everyday.

Dawn, your little quilt block is just too cool. What a great idea! I love mini's. I never gave a thought to making one out of our hst's. And Margo, thanks for the lesson. I wondered how you did that. Quilters are just too smart! And Wonderful!
