Sky's The Limit - Star #8....

Star #8...that means we're about half way through the star blocks! This gorgeous block is the one designed by one of our fellow Bellingham stores - Fourth Corner Quilts. Hey...I got close to perfect points thanks to paper piecing, which is how this block is designed. You might be able to tell that we've been using a certain Hoffman fabric in a lot of the blocks. It is a McKenna Ryan designed fabric - Aurora Borealis - and we tried to utilize the variation in colors to achieve a certain effect. We kind of stumbled on it later, so we re-did a few of the blocks with some pretty good results.

What happened at Fab-Etc today? Well, we finished cutting for one of the BOM blocks in our "Ode to the Thirties" quilt. Harriet spiffed up Clearance and the denim and twill rack. Emily cut the last of the Alphabuddies panel and rolled some fat quarters. We moved a few models around and I worked on a couple of orders. We got the back ready for the 4-H group, and we talked about what projects we'd like to get done before the Tri-County event, too. At 5:45 the UPS delivery arrived with some reorders on books. All in all, a very happy and productive day!

Off to finish some *stuff*. Have a great evening....tomorrow star #9 from Calico Country in Lynden.
