Remiss

It was remiss of me not to post my "Rainbow Connection" quilt here, from the 2014 round of MCM Bee...

I loved making this quilt and it will always hold a special place in my heart and in my home.

Even though I did not receive siggy blocks from everyone, all contributors names are on the back, in the turquoise squares.

And here is the back of my Christmas Table Runner with all 2015 participants acknowledged!

I'm only today starting the hand quilting.

I hope I get it finished in time for Christmas 2015!

Stepping Stone block

Yes ladies, it is July already!
This is the block I would like made for me....
*NB There are further details on Flick'r- sorry to confuse you.....

With one minor major difference- 

I want it in reverse colours ie a red star on a white background!

The tutorial can be found here 

I didn't have many difficulties but please note.... some measurements are not included!

You will need to cut 8 X 1.5" x 2.5" white rectangles and 8 X 1.5" white squares.  These are used to make the 'arrow' head points of the centre star.

Be careful how you piece these...

The one on the left is correct, the one on the right is incorrect. Easily fixed by un'stitching' the centre seam and sewing the opposite sides together.

Another tip-

These pieces...

can be trimmed to 4.5" square. The designer does not mention this, but I think it is worth noting.

The final block is quite forgiving in that it does leave some leeway to be trimmed to its required 10.5" square.

Thanks everyone! I am looking forward to making this into possibly a Christmas table runner! Not much use for Christmas quilts in December in the Southern Hemisphere......
