A couple of months ago I joined a wonderful online quilters’ group at AllOurQuilts.com. The site has been online a relatively short period of time and is growing by the day. Sue created this wonderful stopover for quilt lovers. Webmaster and designer, Mike stays busy keeping the site up and running and is adding new features almost daily. It costs nothing to join and the folks participating are great! You’ll find some of my quilts posted there as well as many other wonderful creations. Sue designed this star wall hanging and is currently providing lessons for its completion for members who have uploaded at least 2 quilt projects to the site. With Sue’s permission, I’m posting my progress (minus specific instructions) here as I complete each lesson. Want to see more? Join us at AllOurQuilts.com.

Kaleidoscope Star: Lesson 3
I’ve really enjoyed this series of lessons from All Our Quilts. I chose to do the intermediate lesson for this round so the top is done. But there is one more lesson for advanced quilters that includes paper-pieced stars in the corners for the final border. I’ll post more photos as I assemble the quilt top with the batting and backing. I plan to use Sharon Schamber’s Hand Basting a Quilt technique.

Kaleidoscope Star – Lesson 1
The image reflects the completion of Lesson 1 of Sue’s tutorial. The center blocks and star points are fussy cut from a fabric with a symmetrical design pattern. This is my first time using fabric in this manner and Sue does a wonderful job at explaining this procedure. I chose a white background with a paisley pattern to compliment the paisley pattern used in the star.
