Design Wall Monday: Farmhouse Stars progress


Sunday morning sewing brought me a step further on Farmhouse Stars.  One star out of 9 is complete. I decided to finish 4 blocks and make one of the stars just to make sure I was doing things correctly.  All of the pieces are laid out for the next 32 blocks (8 stars) and ready to sew the second round of color.  20 of them are here on my cutting board, and the other 12 are on my ironing board. 

This is a Simple Whatnots pattern by Kim Diehl.  I love the look, but it is taking me forever to finish it.  And I've promised myself that I can't start a new project until this top is done. Actually I shouldn't start anything new until I finish SOMETHING!  I realized yesterday that except for pillowcases, I haven't finished anything in over a month.

  2. I love the pops of red and yellow in that star. This is going to be a beautiful quilt. How big is the star?

  3. I'm with you, I don't know the last time I had a finish. I'm thinking it was September! I haven't been sewing much and hoping to get back in the swing after the new year. I luckily only have 1 gift I hope to make this year, so I'm not feeling pressure to sew either.

    1. Melody - it is part of her newest round of Simple Whatnots patterns. So it isn't in a book yet that I know of. Probably only available in kits right now.

  7. I love the farmhouse star block. Goooooood luck finishing it. I always find the more pieces in a block the more I procrastinate. Maybe focus on units in the block. Hmmm
