I made the first of these blocks in 2011. I’d bought a
pre-cut kit at a quilt show, thinking they’d be easy to stitch together. They
weren’t. After some seam ripping (and cursing) I got the first block looking acceptable.
I took a photo and stuffed it into a bag with its unfinished siblings. Then we
moved, and the bag ended up in the bottom of a box for years. Eventually, I
rediscovered the kit and pieced several more blocks. Somehow, I ended up with
an odd number of stars – too few for a bed quilt, too many to throw out. They
got packed up again. I was gifted a few more block kits, but then I couldn’t
find my original set. Last week, as I was searching for my wonky log cabin
blocks (How did I lose all 49?) I located the gifted kit AND the original blocks.
Now, if I can just find those log cabins.
