My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

39 down; 45 to go

10 years ago

I know I've posted pictures of these little stars before, but I just love how they're coming out. And I wanted to show you that I have been working on them. I can see that deciding on placement will be challenging. There is a beautiful twisted sashing that needs to be fussy cut to go between them. They will finish at 6". It will end up looking pretty scrappy, but I can't tell you how many hours it took to find the right fabrics and to decide on the fabric combinations for each star. The fabrics are all reproduction prints.

    I haven't been a fan either, Val, but when I saw the picture of this quilt, I knew I wanted to make it. And then I found the exact sashing and border fabric that is shown in this photo, so that was it. It will be a gift for some friends who have done a lot for us. The patterns in this book are just scrumptious. Thanks, everyone, for your kind comments.
