HERE WE GO AGAIN.....

I have joined the new Quilt-along with Quilting Gallery, this one is called Delightful Stars.  This time it is a paid quilt-along and each week we will receive a new block pattern.

Here is my first block.....

Block # 18

One thing I like about these quilt-alongs is that you discover new rulers and techniques.  To make the HST's and Flying Geese units for this block we could use this ruler.....

I found this ruler to be very easy to use and the resulting HST's and FG were perfect!  This ruler cuts both shapes so it would be wonderful to take to retreats and sewing days away from home.

I still need to perfect my piecing skills on Flying Geese units but I am getting better with each one I make. 

I sewed along with Bonnie Hunter late last year, on the Celtic Solstice quilt.  Mine is almost together - I only made a wall hanging size as I must admit I didn't enjoy working with such tiny pieces and units. 

If you read my Facebook page, you will know I've been working on a Zoo quilt.  Well, it's all together and ready to be machine quilted.   The animals were cut with my Go Cutter, the die is called Go-Zoo Animals.
