 Very nice Terry! |
These quilt blocks are really wonderful! I'm really going to enjoy seeing this quilt come together.
Next month we are doing Block 15, Whiskey Rebellion and 3 pieced sawtooth stars. The applique is a doozy so I'll keep this month fairly simple.
Hi Lori,
ReplyDeletegreat applique here in the post. I am finally caught up, Yipee!
Greetings,
Sylvia
I tried contacting the woman who sells them that Jan mentions in her book but I never got an answer, too bad we can't buy them all in one spot. I am still looking though :0).
ReplyDeleteStill behind but making progress!

I like what Brown dirt Cottage did for button stars. Wool is a good idea too. Love following along with these posts.
ReplyDeleteOh boy...next months appliqué block looks challenging to say the least! Everyone's blocks look great!
ReplyDeleteI really like seeing what everyone else is doing with their blocks. I was so curious as to what others were using in place of the buttons. I researched A LOT for the buttons and found as many as I would need it was w-a-y more than I wanted to spend!
ReplyDeleteI am happy to say I am finally caught up!!!
These are wonderful blocks. I am looking forward to seeing these quilts when they are all finished. I love seeing the variety when each person tweaks the pattern their own way.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all these flags! It's great fun to quilt-along.
ReplyDeletefun to see all this patriotic quilting - awesome work!
ReplyDeleteI looked at site than Jan Patek lists in the book as a source for buttons. I am not seeing much that would work though. Try E-Bay. Last year, I found some star buttons at Hobby Lobby. I used wool for the stars on the flags.
ReplyDeleteIt's always so fun to see everyone's versions! I put some options for star buttons on my post.
ReplyDeletelizzy
I used ultrasuede and a rug braiding needle (or a stout embroidery needle). Worked like a charm! Ultrasuede is sold by the inch or sometimes it can be found in small rolls at quilt shops.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection of flags!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing everyone's flags. Did you look on Etsy for star buttons? I'm starting the eagle applique today, yay!
ReplyDeleteSome great quilts in the making...love seeing the progress!
ReplyDeleteI found some star buttons on the Hobby lobby site but when I went to the store
ReplyDeletethey did not have any, I ordered some and they will call me when they come in,
I'll let you know if they look good or not.
Happy Sewing
