This past weekend I was able to complete a leader ender project I had going this winter. It is from Bonnie’s site and is called Boxy Stars. I decided to call it Blooming Stars as I used all greens for my stars and for the boxes around them I used all florals. It was such an easy project and I must admit I love using up fabrics from my stash. This really put the stash to good use as even the backing fabric came from it. I had quite a bit of yardage of the green Robin Pandolph fabric that I used for the border. I have no idea why I would have purchased that as it is not a style of fabric I would normally use. It worked perfectly for the border as it has yellow flowers on it and the sashing fabric is the same shade of yellow. I have to say it was nice to complete a project without really thinking about it. I spent a Sunday afternoon in January pulling the fabrics and cutting the blocks and sashing strips then I placed them in a basket next to my machine and sewed them only as Leader, Enders. It was fun to see it come together. I have moved my liberated bars over to that basket so hopefully it will be my next finish.

Laura it is very pretty...looks like flowers blooming...those leader ender projects are great...you really get a top done without even trying. FUN!
I like the quilt a lot. And I like the border - it's really a pretty quilt!
Very cute! I'm beginning to wonder if I will ever finish anything lately!
Oh, a friend of mine used that same pattern from Bonnie; it's fun to see it again in different fabrics! Nice job!
Beautiful quilt. I love it.
Leader/Ender quilts are so cool! I love the colours in this one.
Laura it's a very pretty quilt indeed. Well done on your finish!
Love your grandma's friendship quilt too.
Hope you get that broadband one day!
Wow, that is awesome! I just began my first leader, enders project. I don't have much cut for the scrap bins so I think it could take awhile but it is a fabulous idea. Keep up the good work!!
Love the colors in this quilt. The corners look like little hearts to me...or maybe flowers.
I think of Leader, Enders like bonus quilts!
Wow you've got yourself a great quilt there. I'm definitely going to have to investigate a leaders/enders quilt. I think I'm missing out on a lot of fun.
I love it Laura, it looks just lovely. I had to look twice to realise it was the boxy stars pattern. It looks lovely with the floral fabrics around the edge.

It looks so fresh and springy. I have got to try one of those leaders enders projects -- these kinds of results are reason enough!
I love the green stars!You did great!
