My starter block

The ladies from my quilting bee, A Dozen Quilters, and I have decided to do a round robin this year.  I think there are six of us joining in.  I plan to send this block out.  I originally made this flower for the baby quilt I just finished, but it was too big.  It will be fun to see how this one grows!

I just finished my first round of Around the Bend and Across the Pond! round robin on Flickr. Ann sent out the center square and indicated she would like a quilt of stars.  This is what I came up with...I really enjoyed this process.
And...lastly, I continue to fold fabric.  I think it has become necessary.  I adore the look of the folded fabric on my shelves, and it's been quite an eye opener for how much fabric I own...and, as it turns out, how much fabric I have bought multiples of!!  I have 2 very large pieces of Erin McMorris's Wallflower print from the Wildwood collection.  Evidently, I loved it enough to buy for backing TWICE.

  2. I love a nice stack of folded fabric, too. I also store my fabric in a bookshelf - you're going to be so happy when it's done.

    I totally LOVE the starter block for your bee!
