Starry Bright Sky QAL - Pattern 2 Traditional Piecing


This month the Starry Bright Sky QAL blocks use traditional piecing.  I have just done the first one, so posting that one now...


This is a variation of the first quilt block I ever made myself (27 years ago!) - but instead of a plain star interior there is a 16-patch so it is much more interesting.

I haven't read ahead to see how we use the remaining 8 HSTs, but they are done so I included them in the photo.

Each month Alida shares several blocks, those who make one and post a photo following her directions are eligible for a drawing and will receive the next month's designs and directions via email.

Information on this QAL is posted here.

This QAL has just started, it's not too late for you to join in to make the beautiful quilt Alida has designed.  In addition to the blocks, I'm looking forward to making the extra blocks that have folds and creases in the fabric - to make textured blocks!

I've linked this post up to the group page:

Go ahead and see the pretty blocks folks are posting to the site!

  1. Beautiful block!! There was a mistake in the pattern and that is why you ended up with extra HSTs! Unfortunately no matter how many time I read the instructions, at the end there can still be errors! At least the error made you create some extra that you can use for other block ;)

    1. Yep - better to have too many than too few! Thanks Alida!
