Pieceful SUnday: Hunter's Star and 2018 Block Party

Cut Pieces for the Hunter's Star Table Runner

The Hunter's Star Quilt Along sponsored by the Fat Quarter Shop (affiliate link) will be here soon! I am one of the bloggers who is quilting along. The colorful fabrics that I will be using are shown in the photos. They are from the Batik Paradise Collection by Connecting Threads (not an affiliate link). 

I plan on using the blocks to make a table runner, so I had better get busy! The block pattern will be available for free when the pattern is released. You will be able to get a link on this site and see my Table Runner at that time..

I am also excited to start the Quilt in a Day 2018 Block Party! My husband gave me the block party as a Christmas present. I have participated each year for many years. I enjoy Eleanor's Block Party videos which I can see over the internet, and I enjoy seeing the new books before they are for sale. This year is the fortieth anniversary of Quilt in a Day.  I plan on revealing my pieced blocks here as we go. You will need to wait until next year for the patterns and instructions though. I will be using Eleanor's new fabric line called Homestead by Benartex. I purchased yardage for the borders and background and two Layer Cakes for the blocks.  I know that this will be a fun journey. If you are interested in participating, see Quilt in a Day (not an affiliate link). There is still time to join in!
