Once DS had gone back to London, I was able to get my sewing room back. I celebrated by making a feathered star. It's a Martha McClosky pattern I picked up from the Home and Garden Television site. I know it's really only pictures of the demonstration, but the instructions were a bit tricky to follow, especially when it came to assembling the block. 'Stitch each row together and complete' wasn't really enough for me - maybe I should have bought the book! Anyway, I'm pleased with the result, although I still have to work out whether I want to make more to start another quilt, or whether the journey was sufficient.
Hope everyone has a good time today, and has a happy, healthy and productive 2008!

Looks fab Lynda! I made one like that once that went in the centre of a quilt for DD2...I have always wanted to go back and make another...but that has yet to happen ;o)
You did a beautiful job. Happy New Year!
What a pretty block. I wonder if Jane is onto something and if you could use it as a centre piece if you're not ready to tackle another piece.
Best wishes for 2008.
That's very beautiful Lynda and you would never know that you have trouble with the pattern.
why not make a bunch of different snowflakes and create your own winter wonderland quilt :)
