A new tutorial: Pants to Skirt
I have put together a really fun re purposing tutorial on how to change a pair of pants into a cute skirt! I am planning to post this tomorrow, so stay tuned!
Another Tutorial: 6 Point Star, Diamond/Y seam tutorial
I have this tutorial coming up too, but I need to retake a few pictures... which of course means doing it all over. hahaha! Watch for this one next week!
Skill Builder Sampler: Mini Lone Star
This one is killing me. I don't know why. I've done it twice. Here's the first one:
It's a hot mess. None of my seams would match up, it won't lie flat, it's about an inch too small... mess. So, I redid it:
Better. Still have seam matching trouble, but it's better. I still had trouble with the center wanting to bunch up. It's now about 1/2 inch too small. I have an idea to make it work for real, so... I will be doing it a third time. lol!!
Then, I will be moving on to this week's paper piecing block of awesome: a compass block! I am really excited to try it!!
Well, that's all! Be sure to check out all of the WIPs over at Freshly Pieced!!

You know from a distance both those blocks look fine. I hope you get it right next time, I love this particular star.
those lodestar blocks look great, what a great design.. practice makes perfect :) haha don't go crazy though!
Love the star!
I think they look great. Sometimes the creator's eye is much more critical than everyone else's. And then again, sometimes my mistakes are glaring enough for everyone to notice. ;)
Everyting looks great. Thanks for sharing.
Love your lone star.I've never done one.
I hope third time is a charm! Looking forward to the tutorials. :)
Looks great. I'm pretty new to quilting. I'd love to try a star like that one of these days.
That block gave me tons of trouble, too and I even did the easier one! I think they look great though. Love the color combination you used.
Lovely block!!!!
