A Little Background
During this 12-month block of the month challenge, all blocks are made from one 24-piece fat quarter bundle and 2-1/4 yards of cream background fabric. We’ve used Nancy Zieman’s fat quarter bundle, Garnet, it’s Nancy’s debut fabric line from Penny Rose, a division of Riley Blake Designs. Here’s the original quilt created by Team Nancy Zieman:

She’s Our Star: 2018 Block of the Month
Nancy Zieman Productions, LLC’s FREE 2018 block of the month program is a great way to finish a quilt in manageable monthly installments. One block at a time is an easy approach to creating a larger quilt. Whether you are a beginner or seasoned quilter, a block of the month is a great opportunity to stitch. In 2018, Team Nancy Zieman is offering a fantastic quilt! We cannot show you the finished design quite yet. We’re keeping it a mystery!
After a few months of wrangling with the perfect theme for the 2018 Mystery Quilt, Team Nancy Zieman decided to honor Nancy’s legacy with a quilt titled, She’s Our Star. Today we’ll introduce you to the Block of the Month and let you know what supplies you’ll need to create a fantastic star-based quilt for 2018.
Though we won’t be sharing all the blocks at once, we will be posting a new quilt block tutorial on the third Saturday of each month, for the first six months in 2018. The NZP Team will guide you, step-by-step to create two blocks each month from Nancy Zeiman’s Farmhouse Floral fat quarters* (18″ x 22″ fabric rectangles) and background fabrics.
All 12-blocks will feature Nancy Zieman’s Farmhouse Florals Fat Quarter Pack. Read more and join in the 2018 Block of the Month here.

I started the 2018 Block of the Month with colors red, blue, green, yellow with a flower print with the colors.

I am actually thinking more scrappy — each block would have its own colors
Margaret Scott
I will use a rose mult colored fabric for the 2018 star quilt,
Looking forward to honoring Nancy.
Anne Scott
I would use all 1930’s reproduction fabrics, primarily blue, yellow, and pink with a little green and lavender thrown in as accents. I love multi-color quilts in lighter shades! I was honored to meet Nancy a few years ago. I learned so much from this classy, talented lady over many years. I will miss her tremendously. Keep going on with her legacy, please.

In honor of Nancy I will be doing this quilt along and use my stash. Would love to have the fabrics Nancy designed, but I just retired and must stay within my budget. I know she will be happy to see all of her loyal followers still with her.

I think I will be doing mine in multi colors. I have a large stash and want to start using it up. I think this will be a wonderful tribute to Nancy. Thank you for carrying on her legacy.

Blue, Blue, and Blue.

I want to make this for a very dear friend but what is the best way to purchase the fabrics since the Garnet fat quarters are no longer available and I would like to make it in Purple. Basically, how many of each color palate should I get or just use my own ideas?
