Nantucket stars


It was a bumpy road in the beginning but I finally started my Nantucket quilt !

I ordered a Nantucket quilt kit a couple of weeks ago & when it arrived it was missing 1- 3/4 yard piece of  background fabric . Also I did not like some of the fabrics in the kit so I had to order a few more fabrics .  Once I had all of my fabric I started making my stars Sunday.  These are big ... 15 1/2" and so easy to make . Did I tell you how much I love this Midwinter Reds fabrics !

Now onto making the 180  9 patches .

  2. So pretty! I'm making my stars now, but with scrappy backgrounds.

  3. This is so pretty! I was tempted, but don't have time to make this right now. I'm enjoying watching everyone else work on theirs!

  5. These red star quilts keep popping up in Blogland and I love them. But I am resisting the urge to order a kit.
