February border done - Stars for a New Day

It's growing! Got the border for February done today (although I still need to make the sawtooth stars for the final border). After March, won't see much except blocks, blocks and more blocks, 6" blocks and 4" sawtooth stars. I am going to try a new to me method for Flying Geese for the Sawtooth stars. You'll see the results soon! How I wish I had more of a few of these fabrics, but this quilt is going to be made with what I currently have, and believe me, I have enough for this quilt. But I do love the paisley I used for the center star, and would like to use it as a floating border in the next round, if I have enough. Hope so!

Stars for a New Day begun

In 2009, The Quilt Show had a block of the month that I loved, Stars for a New Day, designed by Sue Garmon. I gathered fabric for it (initially from stash, but supplemented), but had too much on my plate to actually start it. But I saved the patterns for it and looked at what other people were doing, and now I am actually starting it!

Mine will be blue and white. The setting triangles were my starting point for fabric color. This is my first feathered star, and I must say that Sue Garmon's instructions made it pretty easy, relatively speaking
