Barn Star Sampler QAL - Month 8

 It's Month 8 of the Barn Star Sampler Quilt Along and I am just so excited to share another set of blocks!!!  Thanks to Fat Quarter Shop' for hosting this awesome quilt along!!  I am having so much fun sewing along and am just loving how each of these ombre stars are coming together :)     This month we are sharing Block 8 :)  

My Barn Star Sampler will finish at 100" x 100" square, so sometimes I will be making more blocks, but this month, it's just 2 like everyone else. I am so happy with the Rainbow of Ombre goodness in this months blocks!!!   This month's Block 8 is made . . . 

in Strawberry

and Orange



And how fun are these Farmer's Star Blocks!!!  This month's colors had lots of contrast in them, and I think it just really makes these blocks pop.   I loved the more blocky design of these stars, and I think they will add such a great contrast to all of the other star blocks.    


So are you quilting along with all of the star fun as well??  Be sure to share all of your Barn Star Sampler progress on social media with #BarnStarSamplerqal and check out Fat Quarter Shops post for Block 8  for lots more Barn Star Inspiration!!!

Rainbow "Playmat" by Josie and Brooke!!!

 I am so proud of these 2!!!!   A few weeks ago, my youngest Jocelyn, and her best friend, Brooke,  asked if they could make a quilted playmat to go in their "girls den" under the stairs.   They had already measured the space and everything.  They decided to go with rainbow scraps and how great did it turn out!!!   And they made it all, so amazing!!! 


I think my favorite part was watching them go through all of my scraps, picking out leftover Charm Squares and scraps that I then cut into charm squares for them.   And then, it was time to put it on the design wall.  They had so much fun playing with this rainbow of colors!!!  I loved seeing them arrange and rearrange the layout.  I am sure I am bias, but I think they both have an amazing eye for color!!!


Then, it was time to sew.  They learned how to "circle" sew and never once messed up their layout.  I was super impressed.   They even ironed in alternating directions so they could nest their seams when it came time to sew their rows together ;)  I was super impressed with their 1/4" seams and there were only a few that had to be "reverse sewn" and then sewn a little straighter ;)  


And they were super excited to try out the long-arm.   I thought they would be a little nervous, but they jumped right in and did arches over all of their patchwork.   And I loved that they weren't stressed about perfection, they were just happy to be quilting!!!  



And then, I helped them out with a rainbow binding to match the patchwork ;)   The 5" Charm squares finish at 4 1/2" and they choose 198 charm squares!!   So a 9 x 22 layout finished at 40 1/2" x 99".   And wouldn't ya know, it fits perfect under the stairs :)


  And now they get to pull out all of their  markers and coloring pages and spread out across the whole quilt!! So fun ;)  I have to say, I was a little nervous when they initially asked that this would turn into one of those projects that I had to finish.  But these girls blew me away!!!  They were so energetic and happy to be working on this and they did it all, start to finish ;)   Looks like I have some more Happy Quilters :)


I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!!
