You just might get what you wish for if you wait long enough! And waiting might be a good thing. Remember that ole saying that "good things come to those who wait!!! WEll, good things came my way!!!!!
When you get what you waited for it might include A LOT of this!!! Sewing on papers and THEN removing all those papers!!!
It might also include separating out 12 months of blocks into their individual units!!
Because you waited there may be a TON of ironing and ironing AND ironing!!!!!! Lots of little tiny pieces to this project!
But look what you got for all that waiting!!! In January '2010' , I really really wanted to do this Susan Garman block of the month when EVERYONE else was doing it, after all, I am sooooo crazy for STARS!!! In fact, it was so popular Nedra over at the Cactus Needle set up a blog dedicated to just this STAR CRAZY block of the month that was featured on the Quilt Show! I think I had other things going at the time and I just didn't bring myself to buy the $225.oo+ kit at the time!! I was soooooo crazy over the fabrics in this project that I really wanted the kit. Could you hear my whining way over there in St. George Nedra?????
Well LO and BEHOLD Quilters Special had a 'special' on this monthly kit back in January of THIS year for 1/2 off!!! Yep....'cause I WAITED, I got this kit.....fabric (which was 23 yards and averaged around $5.oo-ish per yard.....printed pattern and all for
around $12o.oo-ish. KAPOW!!! What a deal!!!!!!
One of my favorite blocks so far! Isn't this amazing what I got for just waiting!!!! I have 6 months of this quilt done! Only 6 more monthly units left to do!!! YIPPEEEEE!!!!
DANG....I LOVE THIS QUILT.....'cause after all, I'm allllll about STARS!
Great deal Belinda. The stars look great!

ReplyDeleteBelinda, this is so much fun. Celebratory type fun!!! I love your favorite block ~ it's mine, too. (so far) What a great post. Yippie!!!
ReplyDeleteNice things come to those who wait and you certainly deserved to get this cos the block is gorgeous. It's so you.

Hurray!! I'm so glad you are having fun, and joined along. This quilt just calls to you, does it not? I loved making it too.
ReplyDeleteWell done! You made great progress and showed perseverance. You are half way there, and the blocks look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSuper - I'm glad waiting paid off - can't wait to see the rest of the blocks.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a gorgeous BOM and so worth the wait!!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to do that quilt too and have all of the patterns and directions. It looks like you are having so much fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt, and a great buy. Looks like you are having a great deal of fun. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteYou can never go wrong with stars, any star is my fav block. What a deal, good for you.
ReplyDeleteI don't do well with little pieces. I love stars but tend to cut off points. So I'm really admiring all your work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great deal. My mom always told me good things comes to those who wait.

I can see why you hankered after this quilt, it's going to be beautiful and what a great bargain to boot.
ReplyDeleteYour stars are vibrant and beautiful! It is wonderful that you got it for such a lovely deal :-)
ReplyDeleteHave fun!!
This looks just like you, as in something you would make and love and squeeeal about. I love the vibrant colors and crisp white. What a good deal for you to find and buy! Is the whole thing paper pieced?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find and deal! And on such a beautiful quilt!! It is exciting to see your progress and see how excited YOU are getting!
ReplyDeleteIn stitches,
Teresa :o)
It's looking so pretty, keep going!
ReplyDeleteIt will be beautiful when completed. Can't wait to see it finished. (no rush) It took me over a year to make my "scrappy star" lap quilt from your tutorial. Thanks again! Stars rock!
I love the colors that you chose!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing better than a great quilt kit is a great quilt kit on SALE! This one is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWOW, looks like a great kit. I also love stars!
ReplyDeleteThey are as sparkling as the ones in your eyes, Belinda! Glad you are so excited about the stars and the deal :) Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I wish that would happen for the BOM's I have passed up that I still love!
ReplyDeleteI have this kit, too!! I got the good deal, as well. A whole bunch of my fellow quilters and I are working on them. I cut the whole thing first and baggied it up and have only got the first month done. I'm making a huge change, though, and using a black fabric for the background. I love the white and want to try dyeing it.
