Logs and Stars

I've been plodding along on this Country Living quilt kit. The many red stars seemed to give me fits for a while.

Then these courthouse step log cabin blocks seemed to take forever. Probably because those logs are one inch wide! I still need to join them together and attach them to the quilt. I do really like the checkerboards. They just seem to set all the other parts off.

The last component is another star block for the corners, which is waiting it's turn here, and then it's done-Yay! They advertise this kit as for an advanced beginner but I think that's stretching it a bit. This kit had a lot of parts and any seam that's a little less than perfect could really snowball and throw this quilt way off. After this it's quilts for my grandson's new beds in his new room as his baby sister or brother comes along this summer and takes over the crib. What fun that should be. Thinking about summer-it's all that's keeping me going during this horrible winter.
