As the lady wishes ...

I got a bit carried away when I was taking this picture to show you the lovely bundle Jan has sent us (early) for her month as hipBees' Queen Bee in October.



I wasn't intending to start Jan's block until October proper, but I just couldn't put those wee FMF fabric back in their ziplock bag.  They called out to me to be played with (honest they did) and the chocolate didn't have a hope of ever seeing the inside of that bag again! Yum!

So, in my impatience to play, here's what I did



Jan requested star blocks of whatever sort we fancy really, but she did express a wee hankering after the Stargazing block from the Modern Blocks book.  So, happy to oblige, and because I have the book and I've been desperately wanting to make this block since I first saw it, the ipod went on and the the rotary cutter came out.

It was great fun to make and I will definitely make more of these one day.  Hope my version lives up to Jan's expectations!

  2. Wow! I like that block and you have done it beautifully. I am smiling though - The star colours are very ordered and not random at all! Di x
