I did press some seams open, but not all of them. I pressed open eight seams from the very outside eight points to where that seam meets the second feather. Is anyone thinking already of how they are going to quilt this?
thanks.

I posted my finished block last night- I had so much fun making it. I did a design on EQ6 first to see how colors from my stash would work for my 2 paisley prints I purchased over the weekend. (It took me awhile since I am not very good at EQ6 yet) I am also making the background in various creams and whites. In case I run out, I can buy more of any fabric in those shades.

Thank you Margo for the weblink to the pictures for paper piecing. I have completed a Judy Neimeyer quilt several years ago, but couldn't remember how to start. They helped a lot!

I have a question about the pressing the final seams. They are pretty bulky - are people pressing some open?

Looking forward to February's next step,
Cathy

I finished my block a couple of weeks ago and finally got it posted. I'm really enjoying seeing everyone's blocks!

Wow! There are over 100 stars posted in Show and Tell, and the month's not over yet!! Amazing to see the creativity, as well as how MANY are doing the BOM! So fun to be a part of it! MK

OMG, Trust me, I tried, you should have seen her response. It was a hoot!

I may have to have her over to teach her how, she did want to get together to work on the quilt and brainstorm.

Funny thing is she's my long arm quilter! She won the Quilt Show subscription from a raffle prize that I donated to our quilt guild show - it was included in a basket of goodies last April. She just redeemed the coupon in Oct/Nov!

Baby steps!

Denise, try to teach her how to upload her own pictures so that it will show up on HER profile page!! There are some great tips located on the FAQ link on the bottom purple bar for uploading pictures that my help her!

Exactly, we are a diverse group here and while some may not be doing the BOM, having all the pictures there will help us in other projects. A MMMMMMMMMMMM moment when we see colors, style and layout that inspires us in our own projects.

A big pat on the back for all of us and hopefully, some will post pictures. I know a fellow quilter working on hers and she has no idea on how to post pictures, if I can, I’ll have her email me a picture of her finished feathered star and I’ll post for her.

I am so enjoying seeing everyone's feathered star! Each one is unique and beautiful - if I had to, I don't think I could pick a favorite - I like them all. And it is going to be so fun to see all these quilts come together!

One nice thing about waiting awhile until working on the BOM is that you can see the beautiful work everyone else has done and get some wonderful ideas - combination's you might not have thought of.
I might just do another block! Jan

Hi all -- I also finished and posted my BOM -- every day I check to see the new stars. I just counted how many have been posted, almost 100. Pretty cool.

I finally got mine done - pretty wild for me... but fun.

Hi Lois! If you go to Wanda's comment and click on her profile there will be a place on her profile to email her.

I don't know how to reply to a comment. WandaM wanted to know if I fussy cut my polka dots. Nope, in fact, I've never sewn polka dots into a quilt before! I have a whole shoebox of polka dot fat quarters and the red matched so perfectly--I couldn't resist! But does anyone in the blog know how I go about posting WandaM a reply to her comment? thanks!
