"Some assembly required"... that's where I am with the quarter star blocks. You can see the full set of 100 blocks in my weekend post here. I want to be really careful when sewing these together so that I don't get any blocks turned around the wrong way! This is when I'm really happy that blogging makes me take pictures of my projects so that I can refer back to them for quilt construction.
I started by laying out just the first two rows of blocks at the top of the design.
I decided that I would sew them first in pairs and then in fours to keep the length of seams manageable for as long as I could. A fun side note is that these larger blocks show a blue quarter star coming together where the blocks touch!
This simple sewing process works well as a leader/ender when working on other blocks.
Progress! I'm going to continue this process until all the rest of the blocks are sewn into fours, and then combine them into bigger blocks.

I really love this quilt project!.
How exciting! Your quilt is coming together. Great idea on sewing quarter stars in groups of 4 and using your photo layout for reference. Enjoy your sewing time, Diann. Hugs.
