Where Did That come from? Stretched stars!

 At a loose end, and wondering what to work on 

when I spied  a box labeled. Stretched Stars. 

So what was in there?  A 60 " x 60" flimsy!

So much fun to find my own surprise!  

Can planning my own Easter egg hunt be next?!?

It is a duplicate of one I made years ago.

That quilt had a long and useful life.

When it was done , 

it finished out as a warmer for

 baby farm animals and barn cats!

This pattern is fun to make so I 

had planned to make another.

I have been making 

bed size quilts for a while now and  

as wall space is at  a premium, 

out came the charms and 2 1/2" squares to add

5 more rows and columns to this top.

 

The charms I started this quilt with

 were a bit undersized

The blocks were finishing at 4 3/4" cut. 

I see why it ended up hidden in a box!

Sometimes precuts are funny!

My charm squares are mostly 6" .

 A real blast from the past .

So I am trimming down or using some

10" layer cakes to make the blocks. 

It should finish around 80" square . 

Always an adventure in the sewing room.
