Well, this QOV is as finished as I am going to get it! The rails were pieced by attendees of AQS Quilt Week Grand Rapids 2025 in the Sewing for a Cause booth. I pieced the floating stars at the booth and Lynn (Michigan QOV Leader) pieced the top together, while in the booth! Lynn asked me to bring it home, make a backing and quilt it. Lynn has provided me with bolts of batting. The only thing...I forgot to bring home the matching fabric for the binding. Hopefully, Lynn still has some at her house!
pattern: provided by the Sewing for a Cause booth but...
6.5 inches unfinished
panto: serpentine
EDIT: Thanks to Nancy (in the comments) the pattern is Patriotic Rail Fence by
Mary Johnson, found here. One change is that we used Floating Stars
in the top row instead of Sawtooth Stars.
Another small start is my first row in the Stay at Home Round Robin, but mine will be a row by row because the math is easier for me! :) Two of the barn stars are orphans and two are newbies.
pattern: Barn Star origin: unknown
I had the directions tucked away with the orphan stars.
Sharing today with Alycia at Finish or NOT Friday.

Love the notes on the pattern for making flying geese units vs HST’s.
Thanks for the flag block pattern. The rail fence and stars pattern can be found here https://maryquilts.com/new-patriotic-rail-fence/
What a simple, but very effective, QOV pattern. Those barn stars are fabulous. Great idea to do RR as a Row by Row. As you said, no need to fiddle with the math. Plus for borders/rounds to work, how you handle the corners can be tricky.
What a beautiful way to set off this quilt! Can't go wrong with star blocks!
those barn stars are so cool!! that will be a great SAHRR!!!
