Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks Blog Tour

Star Gazing

Today is my stop on the Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks Blog Tour!

Quiltmaker cover

My block, Star Gazing, is on page 51 of this issue–and can I tell you how much I love this block!

Star Gazing Quilt Block

Star Gazing creates a wonderful secondary pattern when used within a quilt.  I loved playing with all sorts of settings in EQ.  This black version uses a black tonal fabric from Basic’s Grey’s Little Black Dress 2 line of fabric.  Using just one fabric allows you to really see the pattern the blocks create.

Star Gazing Quilt

I also played with how the block looks using prints–and here it is in Miss Kate by Bonnie & Camille.  Aren’t you guys excited for this line to come out!

Star Gazing Miss Kate

And, as I am on a little bit of a medallion kick lately I had to make up a medallion quilt as well.  I used Elementary by Sweetwater–another line I am very excited about!

Star Gazing Medallion

  327. Nancy says:

    Star Gazing is a great block and brought back memories for me as a child. I didn’t like riding, so when my parents would bring us somewhere…I would always look up at the sky on night trips home to see the stars and always try to find the big dipper. Grammy told me if it was upright, would be a good day following; and if upside down, it was going to rain. I still enjoy stargazing as an adult and will go out most often to see meteor showers when predicted. Thanks for the memory this block gave me!
