Barbara S has made 190 stars in all.
About 95 stars from the other Barbara B.
In lurking about the blogosphere I notice a lot of people counting their stars.
And a few are making plans.
Jeanne's stars pinned to a curtain.
She keeps various projects on various curtains and hangs them on a
closet rod while
she's working on them.
Victoria C is alternating with an X block.
Gladi has her doll quilt done.
She's quilting on her crib quilt and planning her large quilt.

And I'll keep lurking.
Did Barbara S. make the most stars- 190 (4 a week) ? Can you beat her record?

Glad to see you lurking--I love this project! Thank you so much for all the wonderful info you give us.
Thanks for sharing me! :) I have my blue stars in strips and ready for a top.
P.S. My final count was 158.
Absolutely NOT. I will have to count mine when I get home next week. And I haven't yet decided how to set them. I like the "X" setting. I also liked the ones that were framed with just a simple strip all around. On point makes them bigger...
What are you going to do??
Thank you for honoring my layout photo here on your blog! I've had a ball making these blocks and now when I look at them, I say, "Oh, that's a Prussian Blue!", or "Oh, that one is a botched floral print!", or "That one is a fancy machine ground background!" Each block is a personal reminder of your wonderful teachings, thank you so much.
Thanks again, Barbara, for a wonderful QAL. I just wanted to make sure I had enough stars for one large quilt but I have enough for two!
What am I going to do says Randy. I have 6 stars. I spent my year writing----I'd rather write than sew anyhow.
I loved making these stars. I learned so much and had such a great time looking through my fabric. I decided to make four of each as well....it was a good hand piecing project for the year. I got behind during the summer months but I am almost caught up with only about 10 left to stitch. I haven't counted yet, but I should be at the 190 mark. Some of the weeks I had so many fabrics to choose from that I think I might have made some extras. I have decided to use them in two quilts...Sister Quilts I am calling them. The layout will be the same with different setting fabric (same print just different colorway). And I think they will be for my two girls. I can honestly say that if I hadn't decided to hand piece these stars I would have never got them done. It was so easy to sit down in the evening, watch a little TV with the family and make a block or two.
I have my setting all ready to go after the new year I'll start putting them together! So many wonderful quilts already!! I'm not sure how many stars I have. I suppose I should count them.
I guess I better get counting and doing a layout.
I know I'm going to miss this sew along! Thanks again Barbara
