Feathered Star


I've been sewing on this quilt this week. It's from Kim Diehl's book Simple Traditions. It's finished size is 52 x 52". It has 5 applique blocks and four pieced blocks in the center and then the outer border.


Here's my progress on the pieced blocks. I have all the pieces cut and working on the sewing. It's nice to just sit and sew sometimes.

The applique is going okay. I have not had a lot of luck with applique in the past. I've been reading hints and the needle turn applique is starting to work for me. I'm not struggling as much this time. I guess you have to keep trying.
