I have been drawn to Fat Quarter Shop lately and their temptations with stitch alongs and precuts. I wasn't interested in precuts in the past but this quilt along has demonstrated how easy it is to work with 5 & 10 inch units plus the variety of prints in a collection is always fun.
This past week I stitched up week 3 and 4 of Holly Jolly Christmas.
I also quilted up my Star of Wonder topper. It measures 48 inches point to point. I used fleece on the back. I thought of doing a free motion loops and snowflakes but it wasnt happy being moved about in all those directions and not stitching nicely, so I ended up using the walking foot. I would have done better quilting it on my sit down machine but there is a queen size project tying up that area right now.
I'm joining these lovely linky parties this week. Please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

Your Star of Wonder project is -- um -- wonderful! At first I thought it would be a table topper but maybe not at 48". Wall hanging? Lap quilt? Just curious as to how you will be using it.

Your Star of Wonder topper turned out wonderfully! I have that issue with the quilting pushing the quilt out of shape sometimes, and never know what to do about it. It's so frustrating! Looks like changing to the walking foot helped you. Pretty finish!
