Celebration Stars

I don't always post this often, but since I have a few things to show, and I thought I would do it before I am knee deep again.I showed a few stars a couple posts back that I am making with Marcus Fabrics. They are mostly from the Civil War Chronicles line, by Judie Rothermel. I began assembling block units before I actually assembled the stars because I had to order additional red for the corners, as I wanted them all to be the same. Doesn't that look nice and neat? One would draw the conclusion that I am very organized in my sewing room. Don't assume. It became necessary in this case, which I guess means I am capable of organization, but it just doesn't happen all that often!

That box of block units turned into this. It  is pretty set like that, don't you think? But I have other plans, and they are almost completed. Come back next time to see the completed top!

Your local quilt shop may carry this line, and you can find some of these fabrics at Sew Unique Creations. Check it out! Tara carries all my favorites!

Catch you later!

Looks like a wonderful box of eye-candy, can't wait to see what you are going to do with them.

What gorgeous stars!! I look forward to seeing your plan for setting them - they look marvelous in the setting you show here. I agree 100% about organization - only if necessary. :0)

Oh, just what I need - more CW fabrics! LOL. Looking for it now. No one in Knox really pays attention to the CW repros, so I'm going online.

Love the way that looks.
