I’m so excited to share my block for the International Association of Quilter’s Mystery Night Sky Quilt!
The Trailing Stars block was inspired by the quilt’s theme, Night Sky, and is a fun and easy to piece block… yes, no applique! If you browse through my site you’ll see that I absolutely love applique!
You can learn more about this beautiful quilt by visiting my previous post about the IAQ.
I made the block with my latest holiday fabric collection for Comtempo Studio of Benartex, Hearty, filled with sweet snowman and prints perfect for Christmas, winter projects, and much more, in my favorite palette of aquas, reds, greens, white and a touch of grey.
I love the 12″ table-toppers by Ackfeldwire and spray painted this one in aqua… perfect for my new block, now I just need to quilt it and add a little binding for a sweet table decoration.
This runner uses the Trailing Stars block and the instructions are available to members of IAQ. You can also download the instructions to make a Trailing Stars block here.
Would you like to make the Trailing Stars block in my fabric? And how about the Hearty panel to make a Hearty Snowman pillow?
Enter below… a winner will chosen on March 13, 2019.
Thanks so much for visiting!
