Star light... STAR BRIGHT!!



STAR BRIGHT is the name of this new quilt I'm making...hopefully to give to my cousins little boy....still playing around with the ideas though...his brother Luke got this quilt so I thought I would put the new baby's name on his quilt too...but his name is so much longer (Nicholas) so that has altered all the pattern lay-out I was going to do....I will be doing the stars though in these colours...but got any layout ideas anyone...each star is 6 inches finished...I was goingto alternate them with plain squares...and applique the letters onto the plain squares but.....doesn't seem right yet....still thinking!!!

The stars look great AJ! It's a great block, isn't it? My first quilt was done with this one - Austy's baby quilt.

It has been a week two weeks since Aden's Octonauts party and I think I have recovered enough to post about it. Special thanks to my sister for gabbing my camera and my MIL and SIL for their cameras, as I didn't take any all day! Aden is a massive Octonauts fan! So when he didn't go for my initial plan of a 'Monsters' Party ( too scary Mummy!) we decided on Octonauts. I did a lot of Internet searching and looking at a lot of Pintrest posts to gather all my ideas together.  There was lots of party food including Octonaut Cupcakes.
