I had no idea I had so many yellows!
I felt sure I used them all but the yellow
scrap bag is quite full!
So far, in yellow, I have:
9 little houses (gold colored),
and 6 star blocks. I had to go back and do up
teal and red blocks to catch myself up.
I keep finding more patterns I want to make!
The star surrounded blocks were quick to do
since I had a pile of stars in the block bank.
I also made 6 crumb blocks from the last
of the teal. There are only a few
scraps left now.
I have almost all of the blocks
finished for 2 large string stars.
I am making a star string quilt. It may have
one star of each color or combine all of them into
one quilt. It really depends on how many
stars I can complete! Lots left to do I think!
Stay safe and have fun sewing on!!

Ooooh I love the little houses Deb! All your blocks are looking so pretty and colorful... thanks for linking to Monday This and That! xx
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the quilting community that has developed in the blog verse! It keeps me looking forward instead of inward!
DeleteI am eager to see what the string stars look like. And the other star and houses blooks are sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you ! Quilting does keep us joyful during stressful times!
DeleteAwesome scrap use, Deb! Your Star Surrounded blocks make me wonder about set of Maverick Stars that I have from a bygone RSC. Adding colorful squares to increase their size sounds like a really good plan! Off to see if that might work...
ReplyDeleteI too have a large stash of blocks that could fit in places! Time to take a week and join up some blocks with great potential!
DeleteI love your stars with the squares surrounding them! They're going to make a wonderful quilt!
ReplyDeleteNow to figure out how to join them! So much fun ahead!
DeleteYou've done so well using your scraps! Love the stars with squares. I look forward to seeing the string stars.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with To Do Tuesday!
Rumor has it that even more scraps will be coming in this week ! It feels like Christmas but my list of to dos gets longer and longer!! Stay safe and sew on !
DeleteStars and Strings!!! Perfect!!
ReplyDeleteI know , so much fun! Love those strings!
DeleteI love your tiny houses, so cute. The star blocks looks also fun to make.
ReplyDeleteYellow is such a happy collor.
I think yellow is happy too. I have a friend who says, " Every quilt needs a little sunshine!" She puts a little bit of yellow in every quilt she makes! She just turned 90 years old at Christmas.
DeleteThat made me smile "had to go back and catch myself up". I'm planning to do just that on string blocks I'm making. Love those pretty star blocks surrounded with the patchwork squares
ReplyDeleteThe star blocks really turned out well with the squares around! It is great when a pattern surprises us like that!
DeleteEvery time I see your little houses, it makes me want to start another long term project. But, for now I'll just keep watching yours.
ReplyDeleteWatch away! Hopefully I keep doing some interesting things!! Stay safe and sew on!
DeleteSuch cute blocks, Deb!! I love the star blocks!!! I enjoy seeing all the interesting ways RSCers are using their scraps! I'm surprised how many yellow scraps I have in my basket, also!!! Still working on my blocks...
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks. Like the way you framed the stars with borders made from squares.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute blocks! Love the Star Surrounds. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeleteYou with your yellows and me with my blues. Before adding the glass door cabinets and organizing by color I had no idea there were so many blues. Love what you have so far and excited to see its finish. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down.
