The Upland Star quilt is complete and I couldn’t be happier with it !! 98% of my points are pointed and that’s a major victory for me. I attribute this to (1) more accurate cutting (2) more accurate sewing of that 1/4” seam and (3) learning how to “ease” the fabric when sewing two blocks together. Here’s a good, short video about easing.

The seventh clue for the mystery quilt arrived and I completed that section of this quilt. Still loving the colors, though I can’t make heads or tails of how the quilt will come together.

My next quilt will be the classic pinwheel quilt. I bought some lovely mini-polka dot fabric and found a swirly wine-colored fabric for the background. If you aren’t familiar with the pinwheel quilt, just search for “polka dot pinwheel quilt” and you’ll see many examples. These are classic baby quilts.
