Block 2 - The AQUAMARINE Star
«

Welcome to the
Second Mystery Quiltalongathon Block for 2021 ...
This year, after the great success of last years QAYG BOM,
I decided to combine the BOM with a finished article,
A Mystery Quiltalongathon !!
A BOM with an agenda !!!
but here's a clue, I've called it
The Sparkling Stars Quilt
I thought as Stars are so often referred to as Diamonds
I would assign a different Gemstone to each Block.
and try and convey a sense of that jewel with my choice of fabrics .......
You can follow my choice of gemstone for each star ...
or choose your own according to the fabrics you have to hand
So for the
SECOND BLOCK
of
2021 Sparkling Stars Mystery Quiltalongathon
We have
The Aquamarine Star
Aquamarine Star
As ever,
Click on the first pic to bring it up to Full size
and then on the
i
Icon (top right corner of the pic on a laptop)
to bring up the instructions to the side of the pic.
Do read right through the tutorial before you start to cut and sew !
There is A separate Tut for The Fancy Flying Geese component of this block
in the Darkside Tiutorials
and I strongly recommend you try one with gash fabric before you start on the block
Block THREE will be released on Saturday 24th April
* * * * * *
There will be
SIX
Gemstone Blocks, posted at 6 weekly intervals
from the end of January to end of August,
giving you ample time to gather your fabrics and make your Stars!
You will need to make between FIVE and THREE Blocks for each Star.
The techniques used throughout the Sewalongs will be fairly simple
and there are Tut's available in The Darkside Tutorials should you need to refresh your memory.
This Mystery Quilt comprises a 5 by 5 grid of 12" (f) blocks
to make a finished quilt of 60" sq,
before any added borders or sashing.
You can of course make it smaller or even larger if you wish.
* * * Fabric Requirements * * *
This Mystery Quilt will require approximately 3m's of
ONE consistent background fabric throughout the quilt
and a different Gemstone colour each month ...
within which there will be between 3 - 6 different shades.
(I'm not so good at the Maths but a 1/4 metre of each gemstone colour/shade should be ample)
And everyone who finishes 2021 with a completed quilt
will receive an exclusive
The Sewing Places's
Prize Winners Enamel badge
or
Sew on Embroidered Patch!!
!

” You will need to make FOUR
of these in total for a
5 x 5 block quilt.”

Nice block. :thumbsup:
I'll do aquamarine for this month because it's my daughter's birth stone. It's her birthday in a couple of days time.

I think the Grey one is a bit off ...
But you have your Dark, Medium and Light just right.
What colour is your background again?
