Farm Girl Vintage Sew Along #farmgirlfridays - Autumn Star Block

Hello, Farm Girl friends! It's Katie here, and I am so glad that you are joining me on the Farm Girl Vintage Sew Along blog hop. I absolutely love Lori's latest book, Farm Girl Vintage! There are 45 stunning blocks packed into this lovely work...a serious feast for your quilty soul!

This week, I made the 12-inch Autumn Star block which can be found on page 9. I started by making one block with a Gardenvale charm pack by Jen Kingwell and Art Gallery Fabrics Pure Elements in Empire Yellow.

I love the Folded Corner Clipper for all of Lori's patterns. It chops off the corners, leaving a quarter inch seam allowance. No need to draw that diagonal line!

So, why not make three blocks?! Here is my Autumn Star table runner. It finishes at 12" x 36". I bound it with Sara Lawson's Jungle Ave in Dotted Boulevard. Yes, I did use this blog hop as an excuse to buy macroons. I needed them to make this photo even lovelier (nom nom nom).

OK, let's switch tables because there are macaroon crumbs on the other table...

    Your table runner looks fabulous. I have to say I am a bit daunted by today's block - all those pieces! I will do my best though. Happy Friday!

    Love your fabric choices for those Autumn Stars. And what a beautiful runner you've turned them into! I had never heard of the Folded Corners Clipper. What a handy tool! Happy Mother's Day weekend to you too!

    You made a cute Runner with your blocks. Thanks for sharing the Folded corner Clipper. I didn't know Lori had that one. Heading back to the FQS to get me one!

    I also love your fabric choices; especially that yellow solid is gorgeous... I'm a bit jealous.
