Quilty Stitches Block 7
This week’s Quilty Stitches block is a variation of the Lone Star of Paradise Block–an old traditional block you’ve probably seen popping up in a lot of places recently:
You may be familiar with this block from Camille’s super cute “Fireworks” quilt pattern which uses a variation of this block as well.
This time of year with quilt market just around the corner is always so busy for me so I don’t have a quite completed block to share with you but mine is almost done!
For my block I am using Sullivan’s 45422 for the light orange, DMC 958 for the aqua, and Sullivan’s 45121 for the grey. And of course filling in everything else with white.
I have a couple Quilt Market quilts that I’m working on this week so hopefully I’ll get a bit of time in to work on my stitching!
Merci de la belle grille bonne journee Marie-Claire
So excited! I’m just about to print this out and go stitch on the front porch by the azaleas while the boys play in the yard. Aaaaaaaah! Thank you! Have a super day!
I have such a stupid question. I have crossed stitched for years. Haven’t done much lately but I really love the look of this. But I am having a hard time figuring out how to read the chart. Every thing that I’ve ever stitched had little symbols inside each square to represent a stitch. All I see is lines…how do I find out how to read this? Ok…if I didn’t want to do this so bad..I would have kept that to myself..lol. Thanks!!
All of the little blocks are so cute. Used to X-stitch a lot, but as I grow older it’s harder to see the teeny tiny squares. Am thinking I could do these blocks on plastic canvas. Will give it a go and let y’all know if it works.
Up to date on Quilty Stitches and ready for more blocks. When will 8 be posted?
Kathy- maybe you can color in the squares to match and see if that helps.
This is too nice of a pattern to not do it.
