One of my favorite things to do is to curate fabric bundles. I love how really different fabrics can come together and be more than just themselves. Not too long ago, a sweet customer asked me to give her an idea of how to use the olive Marth Negley feathers for a boy quilt.
This little bundle languished on my counter for a few weeks until the right idea came along. I pulled a few fabrics out and added a few gold and yellows to really bring the quilt to life. I love it to pieces.

I used my Samurai Stars tutorial and varied the centers so that some stars had hour glasses and some had solid centers.
Here’s the finished project.
Yay for another finish in 2013!
I love it! It is an adorable baby quilt! It makes me want to make one! Have a great day!
Great quilt! I love this pattern!
Love it! The Samurai blocks are so neat!
This is so fresh and original, Amanda! I love the varied centers. You are so talented! And (as you know) you’re curated fabric bundles are a super-weakness of mine 😉 Have a great day!
What a great quilt! The colours are perfect and I love the quilting!
I love this, Amanda! The colors are just perfect and so fun for a cute little boy. Definitely need to try these stars!
Will try this block out immediately. I will shrink it in size for a quilt label. Hope this works out.
Thanks for the tutorial.
really love the wavy quilting!
I LOVE this block -perfect for a little boy’s quilt!
Love the quilt, great colours! Always love a gratuitous baby shit too, he’s a cutie.
My 1 1/2 year old LOVES stars!! I will be shopping for new fabric in Toronto next week and now I know which quilt I will be buying it for!
