This is the cover of the new block of the month. It is by the same designer as the Flock of Feathered Stars, Carolyn Cullinan McCormick. I love her designs and was so happy that my quilt store, Fabric Garden chose this quilt to have as a BOM. I forgot to mention that this quilt is totally paper-pieced. Some quilters like it and some hate it. I love it!
The first two months were in the same packet we pick-upped. I did the easy and larger block first: Ducklings. It would have been easy to just cut the pieces and sew together but I think it was selected because it is an easy block to paper-piece. It is a 10 inch block.
If you look at the quilt on the cover you can see that there is a medallion block in the middle, the Star Spangled Banner. We will be sewing parts of this block every month. Here is this months part of the block that we sewed.
These were very small pieces to sew together. I disliked sewing all those small pieces but I know that it has to be done. There were eight of them and brown combined to make that 22 inch star.
I will work on the next month's "Star Spangled in Blu" block and part of the Star Spangled Banner.
