I realized after my last entry that I never posted my Barn Star Sampler quilt top. I haven't quilted it yet. It's 80x100. I can do that, but it makes me nervous. And it'd cost me about $130 to get it quilted. So - we'll see where it goes.

But there are twenty stars in the quilt. The larger ones you make two, then you make 3 or 4 of some medium and small sized ones. The book is relatively easy to follow. Of course I didn't have the exact fabric, so I just matched it tonally or as close as I could. And sometimes, I didn't have enough for both of the same block, so there was a fabric swap in one of the two pairs.

It looks like a beast, and it sort of it. But she really lays it out well in the book on how to get it all together. And most times, there are few seams to line up, or none at all. The book has you pull a bit more fabric than you'd actually need, so think ahead. If you need thirty-two 2.5" squares, you may not need 3/8" of a yard. That's just two 10" stackers cut evenly. So recalculating some of what you need can save you a lot of leftovers. But there will be leftovers for future quilts.

Buy the book here. Around $24 is about the best price you'll find it right now. Pat Sloan, Fat Quarter Shop, Shelley Cavanna herself, and others are doing Block of the Month or Quilt-A-Long to it right now, so there are lots of inspiration videos to view.

Happy birthday, Bucky Bear! It's a rainy day here in southern California, so the best therapy bear ever is getting some cuddles in his favorite constellation quilt (that's Ursa Major's butt next to him -- he's a consistent sort of fella) and a delicious cupcake with booze in it from the local cupcakery. (Shout out to SusieCakes for making chocolate Guinness cupcakes every March. Bucky salutes you.) Dinner will likely involve some kind of salmon, because bears.

Happy birthday, pal. Thanks for keeping me sane(ish) during some of the wildest years of my life so far.

This is Cordelia, a quilt from Shelley Cavanna’s Barn Star Sampler book. It finishes 66" square, although her instructions had you square it shorter. It hurt my feelings to cut that much of my work off so the outer blocks appeared to be “half,” so - my quilt, my rules. The squaring is weird because these half and quarter blocks along the perimeter finish at different sizes. So you have a jagged edge to square anyway. I just took it to the closest even line, rather than take more off. Simple loopy meander in a pale pink thread and a light gray on the back. The backing is some end of bolt white and gray pieces I had, pieced together. I really like how it turned out. It’ll go on my Etsy store soon.
