Celestial Star QAL with from blank pages...


I want to say a HUGE thank you for everyone who participated in the Celestial Star QAL with me!! I loved your comments, kind words, seeing your blocks and projects come together and especially the finishes!! It was a blast!! {{Mwah}}!! :)


I also can't pass up giving a huge shout out to the amazing sponsors!! I hope you will continue to visit their shops and support them!! They are great! :)

I was going to push to finish my quilt, but the quilt back I made, I ended up being very unhappy with it. So I scratched it. I decided to go with a one print back and if the color is what it is on my screen, I will be so excited with it!! I'm growing to really be a pink kind of girl. Weird - for me. But I like it. :) Of course, another Anna Maria Horner print for the back:

I purchased this at Fabric.com, and was so happy it was even on sale! PLUS going through Ebates.com I got an extra 3% back. Not much, but it adds up. :) AND I'm so happy I wasn't at all tempted to add other things to my cart. Wahoo for shopping progress. ;)


I'm hoping to still get the quilt finished quickly. I can't wait to use it! Plus get some awesome photos of it!! :) You can see the best photos I've taken so far in this post.

Thanks again everyone! It's like a bitter-sweet farewell being done with the QAL. It was such an intense part of my life for the last few months, I don't know what I'm going to do with all of this free time now. ;) lol. :)

  4. How fun is it to wake up and see that you won a prize for doing a super fun project. Thanks you Diane for hosting this quilt along. Your paper piecing patterns are always so accurate and easy to work with. I have also enjoyed using your small alphabet letters to put names on kids bags and pillows. Thank you!

  5. Woohoo!

    Thank you for hosting this, Diane. I learned SO MUCH! I've never paper pieced ever, and the Celestial Star is an amazing pattern. I'm making it for a swap I'm in, and I'll probably make more. Your pattern instructions are excellent, too. I've found myself wishing you had designed a lot of the other PP patterns I've purchased since then, since most don't come with the handy cutting templates and other size and design options.

    I hope you do more in the future!
