Cake with Friends and Oh My Stars!
Cake With Friends - made with 2015 Fun With Barb Swaps Blocks.
The backing which I pieced
It is pet approved and the perfect sized lap quilt for the upcoming chilly months.
I love the mix of fabrics and different muslins. Thank you to all the swappers. can you find your blocks?
I enjoyed putting together the fabrics for the cake stand blocks. If you want to make some see the pattern here.
It was inspired by this quilt which I saw on a teaching trip to Michigan. It belonged to Julie and you can see the post with her collection here.
Oh My Stars!!! Now that I have a couple of months off I'm going to host another block swap! Here is a big hint~
I will do a post on Wednesday with the size and color details.
Sign ups will begin on Friday, November 1st.
Blocks will be due to me by January 11, 2020.
Have a wonderful Sunday

love your bow ties and stars - they all look really great and kitty looks like a fun ball of fluff to have around
Nutmeg knows a great quilt when he sees one. Awesome job, Barb! I love combination of the two very different blocks. You make it work beautifully. Congratulations! ;^)
Awesome quilt. Stars are one of my favourite blocks.
OH MY STARS!!! I can't wait :0). thanks for the mini quilt show this morning. Happy Sewing.
Love the name of your quilt and I love the quilt too !!
Who doesn't love stars.... ?
Yeah !! :)
Looks like fun, 'love all your samples! Especially the two top ones, great colors!!!
I am in- I will try and not have a heart attack for this swap. Looks so cheery! Your quilts turned out fabulous.
What a great way to use those bow ties! They frame the baskets perfectly. I am making a star quilt now and I love star blocks. I can't wait to hear the details!!!
Cake with Friends turned out beautifully! The bow ties make a fabulous surround for the baskets. Stars! I love stars! Great samples :0)
Your swap quilt looks great and so "you." I adore the cake stand block - it's been on my to-do list for so long. Ahhhhh if you are doing sawtooth stars that is going to be so tempting... but not realistic for me this time!
What a great combo of those blocks. Nutmeg seemed to enjoy looking at all the different pieces.
Your bow tie basket quilt is super!!
I’m a big fan of sawtooth stars!
I didn't participate in the bow tie swap but recognize some fabrics I have :) Wonderful mix with the basket blocks. I just finished another quilt from the churn dash block swap last year, so fun!
Cake With Friends is a great name for your beautiful quilt. Love how you put that together!
thanks - maybe you'll join the modern swap. details later this week. you a non-reply blogger
Fabulous quilt!! Cake Stand is one of my favorite blocks and it looks great with all the bowtie swap blocks. Oh, you might have me with the next one if you are doing stars. How can I resist? So much on my plate, but everything tastes so good!!
Your quilt is fabulous! And Nutmeg is giving it his approval so that's GREAT!!
And the new swap??? STARS!!!! WOOHOO...
So excited!!!
How beautiful and love the name Cake with Friends!
So excited about your next block swap and really must get my churn swap quilt finished!
Love that your quilt is pet tested and approved. Hugs to Nutmeg.
I'm glad I tuned in today to get the swap announcement. I'll be back on Friday!
Meanwhile -- the scrappy cake stands and bow ties go so well together. Cake Stand is my favorite basket variation, I think.
Love Cake with Friends! Great plan for using the blocks, and fun quilt name! I've been contemplating another basket block quilt, or maybe a basket sampler - the Cake Stand block would be perfect for either. Can't wait to hear the details for Oh My Stars!
Love the basket and bowtie combination! So appealing. I sewed along with you making basket blocks but that top still needs to be quilted. Nutmeg looks perfectly content checking out your quilt :) Wonderful examples of star quilts!
