Seeing Stars

I finished twelve blocks and when I put them on the floor together I realized that I would need more for a decent size quilt. I have some ideas percolating.



I love these stars I've been making. Even the Y seams! I'm almost out of the background fabric so I am going to have to get creative in fabric selection.

A Few More Blocks

I added a orange block today and last night I made another scrappy star.

More Blocks

This is where I left off last weekend.


I had a bag of miscellaneous flannel and a quilt curve ruler I want to try out. And I'm using up batting scraps. The next two pictures are quiltlets that have already gone to the animal hospital. I finish them with a zig zag on the edges. These were so much fun.





Since last time I have added purple as suggested by a few commenters. Also another green, a black. I have a orange cut out.


Oh what's that other block? I'm trying to use up strings and crumbs. This is a new pattern to me and I'm loving it. The pattern suggests using muslin for the background... BORING! A nice lite blue is perfect.

I have many string pieced diamonds finished waiting for their starring role. It makes a large block, larger than 16 inches.

Colorful Sunday

This is a mini of left over blocks, that all I needed was the border. I'm planning to ditch quilt this one and maybe extend the quilt lines into the border by hand quilting.


I had all these blocks laying around and it was time to assemble into a flimsy. I love all the different colors. So fun.


My latest block craze. I saw this pattern on a techie site at work looking for technical help. These finish at 12 inches (12.5 unfinished). What color should I do next?


Happy stitching!
