Lovely quilt, I've pre-ordered your book...looking forward to receiving it when it comes out 😊 I'm not great at sewing I'm hoping to learn x
Beautiful quilt, Helen, makes me want to cuddle up in it. x
I have pre ordered your book and can't wait for it to get here.xx
Oh Helen it's just lovely and so fresh and pretty looking! Good luck with your tidying up - can't wait for the new book:)
Happy Days,
Jenn
Sew beautiful Helen! :) I love the little star pattern on your quilt and your pretty cushion too!
Love that sweet little horse too!
You find all sorts of forgotten things when you have a good sort out, I find!
Have a lovely week,

Helen, it is interesting to see how many possibilities that diamond shape provides. I expect that your photographs are encouraging lots of folks to try their own combinations. The printed binding on your quilt is a fine touch! How lovely that you hand quited the quilt. xo
Beautiful quilt! I love that setting with the hexagons. The pillow is also pretty. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week!
The quilt is just lovely, my favorite part is the binding. It is so sweet and adds so much! Fabulous!
Beautiful, beautiful quilt

Another exquisite masterpiece finds its way into the Philipps household! The striped binding is a genius addition - love it ♥
I've had an iron-as-you-go fabric tidy too but nothing on the scale of yours, of course, but I am pleased with the result - I wonder how long it will last?!
I've had a yarn sort-out too so my sewing cupboard is in a state of shock but I have some stuff to pass on to others, so it was a good job done.
Just crocheting a tea cosy this afternoon but I should really be shortening some trousers for a not very tall friend!
Beautiful colours and work, the fabrics are very pretty. Good luck with your new book. Betty
I've been hoping you'd share your completed strawberry stars quilt. It's been on my mind since your sneak peek. I think the colors and design are so soft and pretty. And I too love the stripey binding. Have a wonderful week. :)
Such an amazing snuggly quilt! I love blankets of all sorts, but I have never made a quilt.... Maybe I can learn from your new book? Lots of love from Mirjam.
That is such a pretty and feminine quilt Helen and the stars really pop! I think your newly acquired horse is lovely too! x
What a beautiful quilt! Can't wait to get my copy of your book... so many beautiful projects in there! Another lovely post Helen! Thank you! Christine x
So beautiful, and I love the fabrics you choose!
What a beautiful quilt, Helen. Very inspirational. Once I've finished my hexie quilt, I'm going to try some diamonds, they look so versatile.
Such a sweet quilt pretty colors. Happy Monday with love Janice
Your quilt is so beautiful, Helen. I love the colors and the stars, and the backing is just perfect. I like that you used blue for it. I will be adding your book to my wish-list of things my husband can choose from for my birthday and Christmas gifts. I can't wait to read it. Hope you have a good week. :)
I'm going to hope over and pre-order your book now. I have the sewing machine.. now I need the inspiration to make my first quilt. I think I shall hand-quilt it too. Your colors always inspire me so much. You're a treasure. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Your finished quilt is beautiful Helen....what wonderful hand stitching. Enjoy getting cosy now that the night's are drawing in xx
Your quilt is simply fantastic Helen! I don't know sewing so it seems to me like a miracle! A hand made quilt!!!
Have a wonderful day

Amazon has promised to email me when your new book is available in the USA, Helen. Meanwhile, I enjoyed the pre-views they offered and you offer here. The star quilt is perfectly sweet. Good for you in your sorting and organizing efforts. You are ever an inspiration :) xx
What a beautiful quilt. I can't wait until the first of November when my book arrives!
Ach was für ein schöner Quilt, tolle Stoffe und wunderschön mit den Sternen.
Ganz liebe Grüße Annerose
It is such a pretty quilt! I love the stars and the lovely fabrics, and the stripey binding too! So lovely! xx
Such a beautiful quilt! Oh, I cannot wait for your book. I love to organize! I find things I forgot I ever had! Enjoy
Looking forward to buying your latest book......love the quilt...
Helen! a beautiful quilt! and the cushion too! As always your colors take us joy! I hope you have a good week!
Such a gorgeous quilt in your signature scrummy colours. I would love to see what fabrics you are consigning to the attic! And to seeing your new storage solution.
Fabulous quilt love the combination of lovely stars and hexies.The striped border and spotted backing are genius. X
Your new little quilt is just beautiful! I've been sewing some stars with no real plan -- I love the way you set yours with the hexagon patches!
The stars look wonderful....and such pretty fabric.
Beautiful quilt! I, too, have been enjoying a bit of hand piecing and hand quilting lately. As always, your blog is an inspiration!
I'm so inspired by the colors of fabrics on your blog that I've been buying pj bottoms at GoodWill in Christmas colors to make something for Christmas....I have no idea what! I just need something in these beautiful colors you post.

Your quilting is too beautiful Helen! Pat x
Hello Helen, I think this has to my all time favourite quilt of yours. I just love everything about it, the stripey edge and the gorgeous hexagon fabric, traditional but with a modern twist. Ooh and your fabric bundles are just to die for. It must be hard to choose between them sometimes.Love your wooden horse too! Thank you for your lovely comments on my blog, so lovely of you to drop in.I am so excited about the acorns!! Have a wonderful weekend, love Linda xx
Gorgeous quilt!
