Some fun was had on Saturday trying out the Accuquilt Rising Star die. I bought it in either November or December when they were having daily deals. It makes a 10" star in a star block.
That center star is small and I wouldn't want to do it without the die because it was a snap to make with the dog ears all cut off before you even begin!
I made all the stars on Saturday afternoon and finished the piecing on Sunday.
Quilted it and bound it on Monday. And got it listed in the shop after taking photos Tuesday morning.
I made it versatile by putting a hanging sleeve on the back so my customers can choose if they want it as a table topper or a wall hanging.

I may have to look at getting that die for next years Patriotic runners. Yours is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great star block, Vicki! I love the look it creates. I bet this runner won't last long in the shop!
ReplyDeleteI love that pattern! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely and patriotic! Perfect for Memorial Day and Fourth of July. Your customers are going to snatch this up. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeletePerfect for the upcoming holidays. The dies are the best at making cutting and sewing so easy.
ReplyDeleteWow! I love this one! I'm anxious to start playing with my new AccuCut but have made myself wait until I had a couple of other things done first. I'm getting closer to being able to break it out and play.
ReplyDeleteYour Rising Star quilt is amazing, Vicki and love the background fabric that you chose. Your Raggedy Ann and Andy are so precious. Did you make them? They look perfect with your quilt. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI've made that block and loved it, but without the dies. I donated the blocks to someone who made a great quilt of them, different from yours, but I love what you did with this one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool quilt!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki! This is really cute. I love the cornerstones and sashing along with the checkerboard. And that background fabric, it really enhances the other fabrics and design just perfectly. It is really versatile plus it can be used for the next FIVE months. That's one worthwhile decoration in my book - what else do you leave out for five months?!! {{Hugs}} a bunch! ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I'm sure the AccuQuilt makes those stars go together lickety-split, and you can whip up a mini quilt faster than fast! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteLovely (and quick) job. I love my AccuQuilt and dies. I am hoping to use the ones I have more often. Hopefully nothing will call my name for a while! Great design.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is looking great! I don't have that die because I have the qube sets to make it. I love the double star block!
