HM, aren’t there 7 on the picture? I do love your design for the Yellow project. Sorry I am not joining in the fun, but I should have joined the UFO challenge. Couldn’t bring myself to dig in the pile and select 12. So I will work on the UFO’s just not in your challenge!
Keep up the blogging fun!

The yellow stars are so bright and cheerful – a good project to work on during the cold winter. I’m curious to hear how the heated water bowl worked …

I have to get up pretty early to get my DSM post linked in this week. Thanks for the encouragement you give. I have an original design that I hope to submit to a magazine this year on my wall today. I’m still in the process of calculating the borders. Mary C in WA

I like the yellow, it’s bright and sunny and we sure could use more of that this time of year!

Keep plodding along – they’ll be done before you know it! Love all the yellow – wish I had my stash handy so I could join in.

Thank you for hosting this. I am doing a schelule on a calendar that I keep on my computer, and it helps me with my motivation. I’ve been a list maker for a long time, but I never thought of separating it from everything else I do. Great idea Judy!

Sunny stars! I keep changing my mind on what to do with the yellow. Leaving it for now and seeing if I can decide by the end of the month. Lots of other quilts to keep me occupied:)

I love your yellow stars! Who would have thought yellow could look so good?

beautiful stars! I didn’t think I would be fan of yellow; but, you make me want to try to play with yellow.

At this moment, I have nothing on my design wall. I have been sick ALL week! I am finally on the upswing and hope to start feeling like doing stuff including sewing and quilting. :-)

Your stars looks so sunny on this dreary January day!

I agree with Karen
It’s below zero here right now

I put up some of my doodling from my short arm; after almost 2 years of owning it my DH & I have finally put it up and started playing with it.

Nifty yellow stars. I agree, who would have thought yellow could be so pleasing.

Prettty stars! And you’ve started on them–always the hardest part.

Have a great Monday! Hopefully my link worked–if not—”try, try, again” LOL

I love your yellow star blocks. I really wanted to do the color challenge but I don’t really have a stash and have made a pact not to buy very much this year and focus on finishing projects. Not enough UFO’s to participate in your monthly challenge. So I’m choosing an UFO a month and working until I have them all completed.

love your yellow stars – with winter weather here in the south it is a good day to sit at the sewing machine and watch the birds scatter for the bird seed.

I like your yellow stars. I am surprised at how little yellow I have in my stash.

Love the yellow stars and can’t wait to see the finished quilt!

Such happy stars! I am very partial to the colour yellow, but have too much else going on to do the monochromatic challenge. But it sure is fun watching them appear on other design walls. I can’t believe I’m #71. You’ve got a lot of people participating in this section this year. Thanks for hosting this, so that we can get to know more people in “blogland”

Your yellow stars are breathtaking! Love them.

Here it is 1:30 PM and I totally forgot about design wall monday. I just took my quilt down for binding.

The benefits of a design wall…My link today shows blue/green blocks. Only after seeing it on the design wall did I realize that I had pieced some blocks incorrectly. I have not unsewn them, turned where necessary and am about ready to go back in and resew. I’m glad I saw the problem on the wall before sewing into rows!

Judy, I am finally going to make a bowtie quilt with my husband’s ties. Any advice on beginning this project? He has so many beautiful ties. I want to use them. Thanks so much.

I’ve posted the beginning of a new quilt that I’ve started. It’ll be the appliqued center of a mostly pieced quilt.

I’m pretty late to the party, but better late than never! Hoping this is OFF the wall by the weekend.
