Weeks 7 & 8 Hidden Stars SAL
We are getting there – almost a quilt top with Hidden Stars. Sherry from Powered by Quilting is the hostess for this sew along featuring a pattern she recently released. With postings every other week, the SAL is about to start winding down. We have made the quilt top a completion goal for the first quarter.
Week Seven of Hidden
February 19th we received the next directions in the sew along. We are to make the square-within-a-square for the B group of fabrics.
Chain piecing happened, adding the white triangles to the pretty colored center squares. Honestly, not much sewing happened during week seven.
Week Eight of Hidden
Once I noticed that Sherry used a steam setting that was low, the pressing the seams open was MUCH easier. No burning my fingers. Our Group Bs were basically finished this past weekend. At the end of week eight, they are in various stages of being trimmed.
Sherry has a Facebook page for sharing updates. Additionally, there is a hashtag on social media of #PBQHiddenStarsSAL if you’d like to check on the progress. This is week nine and today Sherry will have more instructions and tips for us. My guess is for how to put all the blocks together. We’ll have a quilt top in no time.

I’m on the edge of my seat, waiting to see those hidden stars! They are definitely going to be colorful! Take care, Mary.
Well, I AM anxious to see the completed project, so you stick to that quarterly completion goal, ‘kay? =)
Very pretty! All those colours are going to pop! 🙂
Hello Roseanne, Like sandradny has written, I agree completely. I can not wait to see the finished quilt. Have fun while you are working on it and every so often smile because you know I am thinking about you and sending you a little wave! Have a great day!
They are looking good. I ignored the press open – I mostly hate it. Maybe I should try Sherry’s hint!
Keep up the good work 😊
Your blocks are coming along nicely — can’t wait to see the finished quilt top!
Those are some great looking blocks. I’m loving the colors and can’t wait to see it as a flimsy. I’m sure it will be wonderful.
Looking forward to seeing the finished quilts! Such a fun pattern!
Love the jewel tones on white! Looking forward to the finish!
