Week 5, Block 5

Week five and I finished block five...right on schedule. Only 4 more blocks to go. Now it's time to pull myself way from sewing and enjoy some football. I got the Lark Quilt quilted this weekend and the binding put on, so maybe I will sit and sew it down while I watch the game. 

Decisions, Decisions

Last week I went to a local vendor quilt show and I was a pretty good girl. The only thing I purchased was this pattern. It's pretty neat. The inner star is sewn into the seam of the larger star.

It came with these templates. I like the way it turned out, but I trying to decide if I should make it with the inner star or not. What do you think? Inner star - yes or no? The blocks are 11 1/2" and the quilt has 25 stars. I am using some old Amy Bulter fabric swatch samples to make it. I might try to tackle this with the one block a week method, like I'm doing with the Swoon quilt. That seems to be a more attainable goal.
