Jewel Box Stars

I finished up the piecing on my Jewel Box Stars quilt.

This is a free pattern by Bonnie Hunter. You can find the block directions in the free patterns section of her blog. I've been working on this quilt for a few months. It just looks like a bunch of progress because once you get all the units done things seem to pick up speed. Sort of like that snowball rolling downhill.

I pieced the smaller blocks into these huge 16" by 16" blocks and put them up on the design wall. I didn't spend too much time moving them about. Scrappy is fun!

I finished piecing the top in time to catch the shop small Saturday deals at Spring Water Designs. Remember, backing fabric doesn't count when you're on a fabric diet.

I designed the label and stitched it onto the backing. Now all it needs is to be quilted and bound. Maybe over the holidays when I have some time off.

I may have to make this block again. I still have fabric!
