The project on the floor
Remember these? I made my first feathered star block back in June, just for fun, and found I wanted a Christmas quilt made up of nine of these stars. As we know Christmas is coming fast!!! So this week I finally started putting the top together, today I pieced the points on the sawtooth stars and laid it out. It is going slowly, but here is a pic of how it looks spread out on the living room floor:
Hope you're having a great weekend!

Anne Ida, dette er genialt!
This is just stunning. I love it!
Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!
Oh that is GORGEOUS. I love star sashing, but I wouldn't have thought to use it for feathered stars. Really a beautiful quilt.
Have you considered not finishing the outside stars? I think it's interesting to have them as they are. It's unexpected and keeps the eye moving around. Or you could complete them with the border fabric so they bleed over into the new background color?
Whatever you choose I'm sure it will be beautiful. I admire your stamina, finishing all those feathered beauties.
It's gorgeous!!! How are you going to quilt it? I look forward to seeing the finished quilt!
That is going to be a beautiful quilt!!
I remember! It's turning out beautifully!
I just love this. I've always wanted to try a feathered star, but the patterns I've seen so far haven't had much flair. Is this your own design or is it from a book/pattern? Looking at your blocks close up, I can't tell, are there "kite" units in it? I can't figure out how they're sewn.

How stunning! Absolutely beautiful!
Denne quilten kommer til å bli kejmpelekker når den er ferdig. Så lurt å bruke denne blokka i en julequilt, den er jo skikkelig "julete". gleder meg til å se den ferdig. Ellers håper jeg at du har det bra og at du får avsluttet doktorgradsarbeidet ditt.
It's a real beauty and I wonder about the borders ... love to see it finished!
Your feathered stars are really lovely! Good luck with getting it done by Christmas.
Wow, that is so beautiful. You are so talented, I don't know how you do it all. :-)

OMG ... this quilt is absolutely stunning!
I'm taking a class with Marsha Mcclosky on making feathered stars. You've inspired me, I think it's going to be red and green so I can have a Christmas quilt for my bed.
Oh that looks wonderful. Very festive.
This is looking amazing!
What a beautiful Christmas quilt! Feathered star is my favorite block but I haven't had the courage to try making it yet. I hope you get it finished in time for Christmas :0)
