This month Lyanna is our bee mama in Sew Bee Blissful. She sent to each of us a little package with a variety of fabrics in two colorways asking us to make any two (different) stars that took our fancy. What a great bee challenge!
I made an Iowa star using this tutorial in greys. This was a fantastic tutorial as it taught you how to draw your own paper piecing templates. You are not always near a photocopier or printer and this just let me get right into stitching. I like that.
And then I made an Missouri star using this tutorial in blues. I wish I thought this one through a bit more as I hate flying geese, but once I was started it was too late to back out. Anyway, it turned out semi-reasonably.
I see that crazy little pucker there in the middle left. I never saw it until the photo was taken. Funny how that happens. It's fixed now!
Lyanna, I hope you like them. You're going to have one amazing quilt!

Lovely blocks - I really like that "grey" star. I started my first paper piecing project yesterday!
It always surprises me how we see imperfections or mistakes 'after' we take the photo AND publish it! Love the blocks- they are very calming!
Very nicely done! I love both colorsways, do you know if they will be in one quilt or two different?
so pretty, I like stars
Stars are some of my favorite blocks and you did a great job with both of these!
These are lovely blocks. I always find a spelling or grammar mistake after I publish, despite proof reading! I think your little pucker is the same! anyway you spotted and sorted before sending- so all is well.
They are both fab, but that grey one is a stunner!
She came to the right person asking for stars...
Love the blocks! I really need to attempt a star one of these days =D
Super sophistaicated Cindy!
Semi-reasonably - you are funny, they are both wonderful blocks.
