February UFO – Plan B

Thank you for all of your kind advice for my February UFO – “Rabbits Prefer Chocolate”.  Many of you thought that I should stick with hand quilting and that I would be happier in the long run.  And some of you said, “Get it done!” by machine.

One of my followers, Rosa, thought that I should pick another quilt out of my cupboard and finish it by machine while I take my time hand quilting the Rabbits.  Great idea, Rosa! Why didn’t I think of that?

So here is my February UFO, “Oh My Many Stars”!

The original pattern came from the magazine, American Patchwork & Quilting and was designed by Alex Anderson.  You can still find the pattern at the APQ Shop here.  I switched up the stars and added pinwheels to the center of the chain blocks.

I started quilting this over a year ago (probably two) so some of the work is already done.  It is a fairly large quilt though, about 80″ x 80″.  Yep, I’ll be busy busier!

And in the meantime, I’ll have my “rabbits” to keep me warm while I sit on the couch stitching away.

  1. I love this quilt and just bought the pattern thanks to your link, but I am wanting to do the pinwheels like you did, but am newer to quilting. How would I make the changes.

    I am wanting to make it for my dad who is wheelchair bound and served for his country on several tours.

  2. I love the red, white, and blue quilt. Spectacular. As luck or irony would have it, since I bought one of your UFOs, I now have that in my to do pile. Share the wealth, enthusiasm, and hobby, not to mention a pinch of frustration here and there

  3. Great plan! I love your stars quilt. I made my own version of that one, when it first came out, as a graduation gift for a Penn State-bound family member, and kept it all in blue and white. I’m crazy about your pinwheel additions and the variations on the stars! Can’t wait to see it all quilted.
