Whirling Star Blocks

 The last 8 Whirling Star blocks are done, plus one more, since I had extra pieces.  I'll make it into a pillow.  The last picture is the back of that final block, since a quilting friend asked to see it.  The horizontal sashing and corner blocks are together.  Now to join the rest!

More Piecing, 'The Heavens Declare Thy Glory'

 After 7 more hours of piecing today, there are only 24 more half-quarter blocks (that is, the triangles that make up each quarter-block) to put together, and I'll be ready to start assembling the Whirling Star blocks.  Here are all the pieces that make up the entire quilt top.  There are 13 Whirling Star blocks, and 12 blocks cut from an 'In Space' fabric panel by Elizabeth's Studio.  The last photo shows the pieces for the borders.

Piecing 'The Heavens Declare Thy Glory'

 Pieces of a block for 'The Heavens Declare Thy Glory' quilt. I won't sew them together until I get the half-quarters for all 13 blocks done, and arrange them in the colorway I like best. There are 50 or 60 different colors.
