Time for a little progress update. I have been doing things, I swear. I got this last minute little table runner on the table on July 4. Actually, I have had it a couple of weeks but only finished the binding on Wednesday. I love the little stars and swirl quilting design.
You can see I am making progress on my Aurora stars quilt. Not too much more to do. Just a couple of short rows. Here is a different angle where you can sort of see how I am putting it together:
Lastly, I have resurrected my Primitive Gatherings Christmas blocks from the sew along that I did a couple of years ago. I saw an awesome setting for the Moda BlockHeads quilt, and decided it would work perfectly for the Christmas blocks.
This quilt is not mine (darn), and was made by Judy Losey. I saw this photo on the Moda Facebook page. It is pretty spectacular, right? The setting idea was created by Carrie Nelson, and you all know how much I love her designs. Isn't it an awesome setting for a lot of different sampler blocks? It really ties them together. Apparently I will be making a gazillion flying geese in my spare time…
Hope you all have a great weekend!

Love your delightful table topper and well done on Aurora!!
Wishing you well in finding those instructions for your Christmas blocks and am sorry I cannot help you with that.
Hoping for rain here!
Hugs!
Try FrontPorchQuiltshop.com under the freebies tab. They have Carrie Nelson’s setting instructions. I have printed this out if you can not get the link to work. Debby

Sent you the instructions.
Isn’t that BlockHeads quilt unreal beautiful?? It made me want to take mine apart and redo it…..and mine is even quilted! lol.
Have a great weekend!
Wow! Your Aurora quilt is spectacular! I doubt when I make mine I will be that fast but, instead, it will probably sit in the closet a few years before I get all those stars done. You rock Nicole! Thanks for sharing your progress.
Woah. That new setting looks like it will add a lot of extra time to the making of your quilt. Almost like making a whole other quilt! It is beautiful, though…You are one determined quilter!
I love the quilt you are working on currently but I can’t wait to see your Christmas blocks go into this setting you show today 🙂 I love this design!
Thank you for posting a picture of that setting. It will work perfectly with a stack of blocks I have sitting in a bin and thanks to Debby for letting us know where to find it.
oh, my goodness! that setting is gorgeous and your Xmas blocks are gonna look beautiful in that setting! good thing you have a bloc loc ruler to make all those flying geese!
I love your Aurora blocks. that is a beautiful design. ;p
Table runners are so satisfying to make and swap out. Your star quilt is coming along quickly too. I saw that stunning setting on the Moda page too-/simply beautiful but yes, gazillion flying geese!
Wow your quilts look amazing! Can’t wait to see how your Christmas stars turn out, lots of work for sure!
You’ve been working on some great projects lately, so inspiring. I saved the Blockheads picture to Pinterest for future reference because I like it so much.
