Charity Quilt Block Challenge - I see STARS!

I'm definitely seeing STARS, patriotic stars!

Yes, I've been having fun making patriotic quilt blocks for the Charity Quilt Block Challenge, sponsored by AccuQuilt, Quilt in a Day, and Martingale & Company.  As this challenge helps QOV to give quilts to wounded Veterans and Soldiers, I wanted to make some blocks with stars.  I'm still busy making more quilt blocks, but wanted to share with you what I am up to.

The AccuQuilt GO! Stars collections, by Sarah Vedeler,

and Sarah's STARS machine embroidery design collection

work great together to make beautiful patriotic quilt blocks.  Well, they'd work great to make many wonderful quilt designs and other projects, but they definitely helped me quickly make some patriotic quilt blocks for QOV quilts. 

It is so fast to cut the stars with the AccuQuilt GO! and Sarah's ME designs do a beautiful job stitching out, as all of her designs to.

 I just love the detail that Sarah created with these designs.  While they each have a variety of thread change outs (to use different colors), I had fun using red, white & blue threads for only three thread changeouts. 

 

I do so enjoy stitching out Sarah Vedeler's machine embroidery designs and am happy to be able to make some blocks to help the QOV project too.  While I don't qualify to win a prize, there is still time for you to enter the Charity Quilt Block Challenge where you could win.  Your can enter by making a block, quilt top or finished quilt.  And it doesn't need to be a machine embroidered block, have stars on it, or be made with an AccuQuilt product.  But I must confess, if you use an AccuQuilt it will certainly be faster!
