Happy go lucky stars



I started cutting out and piecing a couple of days ago. Fabric line is Happy Go Lucky by Bonnie and Camille. The pattern is called The Stars in Mama's Kitchen by Darlene Zimmerman, free pattern is here. The stars are 4 across and 4 down in the pattern but I'm making my quilt bigger 6 across by 6 down (first plan was 5 across and 5 down, I love this fabric line so I bought them by 1mtr each so I can stretch). Background is Bella Solid by Moda.





Since I decided to add one more row across and one more down, I'm still piecing. Nearly there. I have my Thursday quilting group today so I won't be machining today.

    1. Thanks, Kristin. My Happy Go Lucky was sitting in my sewing room for a while too. Stars are my all time favorite so I went with this pattern. It's a free pattern and found here if you're interested :) http://www.robertkaufman.com/quilting/quilts_patterns/stars_in_mamas_kitchen/
