I pieced my
Star Crossing block from last week - couldn't help it, I had to get it together and I'm very pleased with the result. The block is 32" and I'm going to add borders to bring up to 36" square for a baby quilt. It was really easy to put together.
I've been thnking about how to quilt it and have come up with straight lines along the sun rays and stipple in the white areas. Not sure what to do with the navy square and star centre. Maybe I'll stitch in the ditch and echo in matching thread?
I'm thrilled with how this block turned out and I love the pattern multiplied so I've drafted a 24" block as well. I hope to put this one together as a tutorial and pattern but I've got some more Star blocks to finish.
Last week I had a star centre for Happy Quilting's Star Surround QAL.
This week I have surrounds and corners.
Next week is assembly but I couldn't resist laying them out for a sneaky peek!
I'm loving this project. It'll be a 40" baby quilt, hopefully in 2 weeks time.
No joy on my Swoon QAL this week - still in pieces. Hopefully Sunday will be a swoon day for me and I'll get this one done as well!
These large star blocks are tons of fun and very versatile. I'll be making them for a while, 5 more Swoon to go in addition to this one!

Your color choices are wonderful! The placement of the navy adds a really unique spin to the design. Great work!
