Guilford Courthouse Flag
I used wool for the circles instead of buttons for this block. I didn’t even realize they were supposed to be stars until everyone started posting their blocks.

I really like the snake block with his cute little tongue .
First Stars and Stripes
Bennington Flag
The last two are supposed to have lots of button stars but not being able to find buttons and not a big fan of buttons on quilts anyway
I choose to wait and see if I could get some ideas from some of the other quilters taking part in
Some ladies had star fabric with stars that were large enough to appliqué on. Which looks great but I think I am going to go with wool again. Now to figure out the size of the stars since there is no pattern given.
I like that we got a lot of different ideas from the other ladies who are making this. Your blocks are terrific!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look great! The wool stars seems an excellent solution.

Love the fabrics you used for your blocks....so many different ideas for the stars!
ReplyDeleteYours look terrific. It really is fun to see everyone's blocks. I regret not putting white woolen stars on my First Stars and Stripes - but, oh well!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are great, Nancy!! I have lots and lots and lots of buttons if you change your mind!! ;-0
ReplyDeleteVery nice blocks again this month! I like the little creamy-plaid you are using. Is it a homespun?
