I learned to day how to cut and sew the star block from Elenor Burns Americana quilt. I am making the stars to use as the stars on an american flag quilt...I used her Flying Geese template. At first I was nervous as I needed the smallest one and know how hard those small pieces are to work with, but I did it! I am shocked at myself for being able to do them...right the first time! I figured I'd be doing about a dozen before getting it right! But it worked right the first time! So now.. I just have to get them on the end of the quilt for the flag theme. I know the blocks are going to be shorted than the quilt, biut I can always add some blue to the sides. I 'll post a pic when it's done.
