Wow, I can't believe it is here!!!   The end of the Seeing Stars Quilt Along!!!  It's just so exciting!!!!   First off,  I would like to say Thank You to all of you who quilted-a-long with me.  This has been such a fun Quilt-A-Long and that is because of each of you.  We have learned lots of techniques and for many of you, it was your first time trying some of these techniques, which is just incredible!!!   Truly, that is what quilt along's are all about!!! And wow, everyone kept up so well and I am just blown away by all the amazing quilt tops!!! 

And speaking of finishes . . . Did you see them???  They are all just so pretty and each one is absolutely unique and absolutely fabulous!!!    And there are 69 of them!!!  That is incredible!!!!  I had so much fun quilting along with each of you :)  To see all the finishes just pop on over here and check out the links at the bottom of the post.  They are absolutely amazing!!!     And if you want to see everyone's progress along the way, you can check out the #seeingstarsquiltalong on social media or visit over at the   Happy Quilt-A-Long Flickr Group.  It was so much fun to watch each of your quilt tops come together as we took this journey together :)

Double Plus Bee Blocks

The Bees Knees are back in full swing again, and this month Nedra asked us to make some adorable Double Plus Blocks.    And my goodness, they were so fun and so fast.   And you know, I totally love those low volume backgrounds!! 

And like most bee blocks, I now totally want to make an entire quilt of these!!!  It would be a great way to burn through some scraps.  And truly, so much fun to make!!!   They are in the mail Nedra and I can't wait to see how your quilt comes together!!!

And speaking of quilts coming together, September was my month for the Bees Knees, and I asked my amazing bee mates to make blocks from my Moroccan Lullaby pattern, but this time, with low volume backgrounds!!!  I am just so loving the low volumes right now, and these prints a combination of fabrics from 3 different Corey Yoder lines, and it is so fun to see it coming together.  I can't wait for the last few blocks so I can get this all sewn up!!!

So how about you??  Have you sewn in a Bee???  And if so, are you like me and keep adding to the "to make someday" list each and every month :)

Dessert Sampler - Block 3!!

I have been working on quilting and binding a stack of quilt tops over the last few days, which is always so fun!!!  And since I still wanted to do a little piecing in all of that quilting time, I squeezed in a little Dessert Sampler block goodness and made block 3!!! And this block has purple!!!!   Love it!!!

And, thanks to the super fast cupcake papers,  I already have a good amount of piecing done on the 4th block!!  It should be pieced together soon :)  , It is just so fun to have  this project  that I can work on here and there ;)  I am so loving it!!! 

Although I have to admit, I keep getting tempted to sit down and cut out all the blocks so that I can sew them together assemble line and see all of this figgy goodness come together.   But I keep reminding myself that this is not that kind of project.  Well see if I can hold out to this one block at a time for the entire project ;)
