Dancing Stars in Pink & Purple

This project is my way of killing two birds with one stone.  I had been following the Rainbow Scrap Challenge for quite awhile last year, admiring the many beautiful blocks people made in each month's designated color.  I decided to join in on the challenge, but what to make?

Then I discovered the Dancing Stars quilt-along at Amy's Creative Side.  The pattern is a free download on her site, and she gives several different size options, everything from an 8-block doll quilt up to queen-sized.  

My collection of Dancing Stars blocks has grown by four additional purple stars this week.  My plan is to make 8-10 blocks each month in the chosen color.  If I can produce that many, I will have plenty for a throw quilt at the end of the year.  I look forward to adding more colors to this group.



Check out all the fabulous projects featuring purple for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

  1. Julie, I adore your blocks. I printed out the pattern when I saw them last month, but thought they may be too tricky for me. You have done an amazing job. The combination of the blocks is stunning right now!

  2. Thanks, Lesley. The blocks are foundation pieced and not real quick to make, but I love the way they look so the time is worth it.
