Dancing Stars Quilt Along - February

I finally cut into my fabric for Dancing Stars quilt along @Amy's Creative Side blog.
I am using "Peggy Martin" Quilt Strip Paper Piecing technique to make the blocks. I haven't finished any blocks yet but this method seems to be faster.

I like simple yet fast ways of piecing.
Here is my progress:




Right now I am in the process of making 15 blocks in Kona Ash background. And from my color wheel bundle I chosee the yellows, orange and reds for these blocks.

My goal for March is to have 15 completed blocks. Let's see how it goes.

Happy Quilting!

      Thank you,Marci! I still don't have any blocks finished. I will post more pictures as soon as I have couple of blocks completely done.

This week's design was my all time favorite. Its an easy design but people who don't FMQ think its so complicated ;). I really love the the texture on the quilt. Here are some of pictures of the Paisley FMQ on my Shades of Blue quilt: Paisley FMQ with Circles - you see on the first block I tried to mix paisley with circles Paisley FMQ Paisley FMQ The past week was really productive for me. Finally my sewing machine started behaving and the quilting went really smooth. I almost quilted away 3 blocks. Just 2 more blocks to quilt approximately. I can't wait to finish this quilt soon. I was in a flow this week with FMQ, but did have stop and work on my piecing my Groovy quilt and work on the UFO. Which is always good. Here is pic of the whole quilt, I would love to make one in girl colors ;): Shades of Blue Quilt - almost done!
