Ruby Star

My Ruby Star quilt is coming along nicely.  I like hand piecing because it's very portable.  I keep a few of the joining star pieces in a little bag and I take them with me when I know I'm going to be sitting still for an hour or so.  


This pattern is Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head by Willyne Hammerstein from Millefiori Quilts 4.  I almost wish some raindrops were falling on my head right now - it's been so hot in Wellington and Auckland this summer.  


Here's one of my favourite blocks in this quilt - although I like all of them.  There are so many fussy cutting possibilities with the Ruby Star Society fabrics. 


I made some videos about Hand Piecing and you can find them here if you'd like to give it a go. 

I've got all my pieces made now, so I'm hoping to get another row added this weekend.


Now it's time for the Peacock Party.   Feel free to link up a recent blog post below.

    Beautiful fussy cutting and the blue and red stars help me be able to enjoy this quilt. When the quilts are so busy it can give me a migraine, but this one will be a stunner! Hugs

    What a wonderful piece! That delicious orange with the navy and all those incredibly pieced flowers are just knockouts!

    Oh, that's such a pretty hand-piecing project! Your fussy-cutting is perfection! Personally, I find cutting like that a bit tedious, so now and again, when I'm EPPing, I don't do it on all the pieces. Still, your blocks are just gorgeous! This is gonna be a beautiful quilt!

    I really like the mix of the polkadots with the fussy-cut blocks. Lots of nice take-along work!
