Welcome to the first post from the Rocky Mountains....

With spring just around the corner, the snow melting  and the longer days,  I am finding the need to start a new spring project. So stay tuned to what I can come up with over the weekend.  Enjoy the warmer spring air and have a wonderful weekend. ~ K

Anna's Stars Quilt Along - Week Five

Anna's Stars Quilt Along - Week Five

Wow.  Here we are at week #5 already!  How is everyone holding up?  Are you ready to show us your pretty stack of blocks ... we don't judge here .... remember I'm only showing you my good ones 😉- I've got little ones hidden away underneath the stack that are not all that pretty.  A little uneven here and a few seams that could have been readjusted ... but I'm happy with my progress.  I hope you are happy with your progress also!

This week we are going to take all of our "G", "F" and "H" background pieces and the little "I" print pieces and get everything sorted out on the floor, the design wall, or wherever you lay out your quilts to admire, fine-tune and arrange.

I use a combination of my design wall, floor and cutting table depending on which sections of the quilt I am working on.  The photo below shows all of the pieces arranged on the design wall.  This is where I audition where I decide where everything will go and get a really good idea of how things are going to fit together.

Getting Your Materials Ready:

We are going to start off nice and slow for the first week of the Quilt Along.

Be sure to subscribe to the the QuiltBitz blog for weekly quilt along updates. Enter your email into the box on the sidebar (at right on a computer, or scroll to the bottom on your phone). I do have a couple of ladies that prefer to have a PDF of the weekly update emailed to them .... please email me if you would like to be added to the email list.

The post from each of the 6 weeks will be posted here on the blog as we go along which will also automatically put it up in that tab up at the top of the page labelled "Anna's Stars Quilt Along". You will be able to leave comments and ask questions on any of the posts. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions as you work through the process or if you find something that isn't calculating properly for you. If it isn't working for you, then it might not be working for others either and it needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

The following is for any new people just popping by the blog for the first time and a refresher for those starting their projects today. It's always a good idea to read through the instructions once or twice just to get an idea of the process.
