Using 4 1/2 inch squares made overseas, I finished this little quilt. The split 4 patches were then placed in a different solud star and set in the "Circle Of Nine" arrangement.

The fabrics are from my Mexican Fabric Collection with different neutral backgrounds. The border is a great floral stripe.
I free motion quilted some simple linear swirls in the body with curves in the borders.

I just finished another darling baby quilt using the Missouri Star tutorial on the Ohio Star Quilt. https://youtu.be/Dh6K4zUnfw8?si=9x0Cp4Y-dKvSJKfl
Made for Virginia, the organist at St Andrew's for a grand-nephew. She liked the quilt I made recently for Patty and asked for something like that. https://anita-rancherita.blogspot.com/2023/10/outer-space-baby-quilt.html?m=0
The fabrics for the most part came from my Under The Sea fabric collection, inspired by baby quilts made for my Grandson and other fishy quilts made over the years.
The back is a great piece I picked up at JoAnn at their Black Friday sale for $3.99/yards and the scraps and bits leftover from the tiny 6 1/2" Ohio Star blocks.
The sashing is a great watery swirl with cornerstones of shells and fish in a pretty aqua green.
The overall quilting is big curvy circles and serpentine lines in the borders.
This quilt is made for a new baby coming to a parishioner family. The baby girl is a first baby and her family requested blues, greens and browns, with any quilting being floral another geometric.
I love the crisp simplicity of the broken dishes Block made from 2 5 inch charms. I pondered it for a bit since "geometric" was not favored for the quilting. I made a simple loopy line along the blocks to keep the quilting soft and curves.
I made floral feathers in the borders, then a binding of the leftovers from the fat quarters used to make the blocks.
Ms. Sarah has been the most supportive principal you can imagine for Ezekiel from kinder through 3rd grade. She welcomed us during the pandemic, and supported us through his second grade diagnosis of ADHD.
So this year when we learned of her promotion we were of course thrilled for her career advancement but so sad to see her leave!
I used a Missouri Star tutorial to construct the blocks.

I delivered it to the school and it was sent to all the classrooms for students, teachers and staff to sign.
I made this generous lap quilt from leftover 10" squares from another project (Jacobs Ladder for Erika) and plain white yardage purchased in bulk online for $2.99 a yard.
It has 20 10 1/2" blocks made from a Missouri Star pattern and it finished at 53 x 66.

Patty asked me to design a baby quilt for Sammy's childhood friend having her first child. The shower invite was the inspiration.
So I looked at a favorite Ohio Star pattern I have made before in 6 inches.

Darling huh?
The quilt features these 6" star blocks in golds, blues and silver. The border is a sweet sunshine and clouds in the sky. The back is tiny stars and planets on blue.
I used more angular designs in the border versus curvy. Good old Clamshells quilting thru the body is a good solid choice.
Made completely from the scraps of recently completed garlic knots quilt. AMISH GARLIC KNOTS
Of course all that white gave me a canvas to practice my free motion quilting!
The fabrics were from a made abroad 2.55" set of solids.
I like to finish borders on the Juki sewing machine while tge body of the quilt is easy to sew on the Jazz2 on the frame.
