But first, we need to get through February! I can't believe that February is nearly upon us already, this year sure is flying by already. BOM subscribers will receive their next block pattern next week, on Thursday, February 1st. February's block is the Exploding Star, constructed with four paper templates. And if you haven't already subscribed to the club, you can join at any time, and you will receive all of the patterns for the year, regardless of when you join.
I also used this block back in December to create a fun pouch for Katie. It's a quick block to put together, with only 7 pieces of fabric used in each quarter block section.
I love visiting the Flickr group, where loads of Lucky Stars members are posting their gorgeous blocks. I love seeing all the variety!! Here's a couple of recent favorites of mine.
1. practice triangle, 2. Journal with lucky stars 6" block, 3. Lucky Stars BOM - January, 4. January - Funky Star, 5. January Lucky Stars block, 6. December Sea Star, 7. January BOM, 8. Lucky Stars BOM Jan 2013, 9. Swirling Star
Have a wonderful weekend!
Yay! I'm so excited to receive February's block. I'm having such a blast in my first BOM :)
ReplyDeleteWooo hoo! My pouch is so famous. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to work on my January block this weekend so I can be ready for the ninja star!
I've been blown away at the talent in the group!! These are SO much fun! Thanks for putting it all together!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all of the blocks on Flickr. This is my first paper piecing and it is easy to end up with disaster on color choices with so many fabrics together. Looking at different finished pieces lets me see what I should do to make certain patterns stand out. I say 'should' because I have sewn nothing yet :-)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I have to get cracking and choose some fabrics for these… I don't want it to turn into one of those "intend to but never do" things - they are just too fun.
ReplyDeleteHee hee, love the name for the March one :o)
ReplyDeletejust got my email. cant wait to start. Goal is to make a mariner start someday. practice practice
ReplyDeleteI am so behind in everything ~ I've just got to make my stars ~ they are so so lovely.
