2020 QAL by the Sea: Block 6

Welcome to Block 6 of the QAL by the Sea! I can’t believe we are halfway there; my block will be available in 2 short weeks but for now, we have a gorgeous block from Bobbi of Snowy Days Quilting!

The night sky is gorgeous in Maine, where I have spent most of the summer. I love going out and seeing the deep layers of stars in the sky. The big dipper is often over my neighbor’s house! Anyway, this starry block is a little wonky, allowing for your own expression or lack of precision, whichever you call it.

You can find instructions for her block here: Snowy Days Quilting

    Each block gets cuter, I think! This will be a fun quilt when all the blocks come together!

    Hi Kathleen! What a fun block. I can’t wait to see your block in just a few short days – it seems like block five was just released. ~smile~ Roseanne

    I loved the star block. It reminds me of the mountain retreat sky on a dark summer night. Your directions and tips were well done.
