Deck the Halls with Star Holiday Quilt Blocks

Star Holiday Quilt Blocks

Today is Day 5 of Star Holiday Quilt Blocks. All the quilt blocks are at this LINK As each quilt block is posted it will be there for you to use.

I wash, dry and iron all my fabric before I start any project. I wash after I purchase, so my stash of fabric is always ready to go. I learned this the hard way… as most quilters do. I did a book quilt, for The Quilt Ladies, spilled on it and washed it in the washing machine, cold water, bit of detergent. It bleed all over the white in the fabric and NOTHING I did made it better…it seemed to make it worse. Lesson learned and I remade the quilt, with washed, dried and ironed fabric.
Finished quilt block will be 8″ x 8″
