I decided to join Faith's Solstice Stars quilt along last week. The blocks are beautiful, and I definitely wanted to use some Kona solids for mine. I didn't know what to use for my background fabric, at first I thought gray, then maybe a polka dot in black/white, but I found this charcoal gray print in my stash and figured, what the heck? I went back and forth about whether to make a full-sized quilt or not, but I think I will just make a wall hanging for my sewing room with all 5 blocks straight across.
Surprisingly, I finished block 1 right on time. The first block was the Ribbon Star. I had a lot of fun, and the block was quick and easy to finish thanks to Faith's instruction.
