QnT 2015 12 Stars, 2 colors USA

1-7-15 thru 1-30-15

This month our star block is “Sawtooth” -- one partner

-- one star quilt block each month

-- 2 colors = White and recipient’s choice of one base color. Example: red prints, or blue prints, or green prints, etc.

-- All of the blocks in this series will be beginner level so everyone can participate!

Sawtooth

Note: Keep in mind that the tutorials are for multi-colored stars but we will be using white and one other color. HOWEVER, you may use more than one print in recipients color choice in your stars.

Example: You may want to use white as your background for the Sawtooth Star and two different red prints for the actual star. Perhaps you want to make the 9 patch in the center a red print and a white print and a different red print for the outer spikes of the stars. Use your imagination and have fun with these blocks.

Senders will make one 12 ½” star quilt block for recipients in white and recipients color choice as posted in comments below. (finished star blocks will be 12” when assembled in a project) Each month we will make a different star quilt block for a total of 12 which we can use on individual projects or put together for one quilt.

Doing your neatest work make one 12 ½” block for your partner using white (plain white, or tone-on-tone white) and any shades of the color they choose. If they want blue then use a print fabric that is mostly blue. The blue print you use may include other colors if they are very small and do not take away from the basic color blue. Keep in mind that the tutorials are for multicolored fabrics and we are using two colors.

Senders pick a basic color that would be easy for any partner to find either in their stash or at their favorite fabric shop.
Here are the blocks we will be making.

February = Ohio Star

March = Star In A Star

April = Square In A Star

May thru December Stars to be posted soon, I have them picked but not posted!

Come and join us for this fun series of quilt blocks! Links to tutorials will be available each month.

I hope to see you there!

I love star quilts. this is a good idea.

My color choice is blue, shades from medium to dark, but not light blue.

sherheart 12/23/2014 #

I like blues. Please only deep or medium blues like indigo or denim. No light or pastel blues.

I'd love a mix over the year of any two of these colors at a time (white on white print is in there, too):

Purples please. Closer to royal purple or saturated purples. No lavender please.

Sorry I had to drop...........machine crashed and we are now in winter and big freezing rain and deep freeze tonight. I don't want to miss sending on time. Without machine, I can't not make until I get one. costly for me. Sorry so much

Sagebrushs 01/ 6/2015 #

Blues will work for me.

Kayenderes 01/ 6/2015 #

Okay, joining back in. I will have machine next Sunday. thank goodness

I know the swap says one color but I thought to list 2 so if you don't have one maybe you would have the other one. I would like orange or pink to be my colors Thanks!
