What a fun looking block! Your piecing is wonderful on all those little
half square triangles.


Gosh, thanks, Marcella. blush

Now, are you sure you have enough fabric for this feathered star
project? ;-)

Actually, I bought only a yard, which was all that was available at the
show. Then I panicked because I knew I was going to need more and
couldn't find any in town. Luckily, equilter.com came to my rescue, so I
do think I have enough now. G

I'll have to dig out her book. I'm pretty sure I have it here somewhere.

Wow! That's going to be great! Can't wait to see the rest of the
blocks.
Do you use any special templates for your feathered star? I have the
Marti
Michell ones, but haven't worked much with them.

Thanks! No templates at all -- just Marsha McCloskey's technique.
She's made a zillion feathered star variations and has developed a great
way to make them.

She actually has a few. G the "old" one is called _Feathered Star
Quilts_, and the new one is _Feathered Star Quilt Blocks I_. She's
supposed to be putting out more to follow this last one.

I probably have the oldest one. Any idea if the method is different?

That block just sings. I can hear her now. "I feel pretty; oh, so
pretty!". I'm glad you waited too. Polly

Wow, Sandy, the block is gorgeous! I can only imagine how awesome the quilt
will be.

I've just taken a quick look, and it looks like they're pretty similar.
The instructions on the bias strip piecing are a bit sparse in the old
version, but there's generally more detail in all areas in the new book.
Still, I think you can do just fine with the old one. If you have
questions, let me know, and I'll try to explain what she says in the new
book.
