What a great trip we had to the warm south!
We did return to snowy weather tho.
Snow makes a great day to break into the block
bank and stitch up all these blocks
that have been waiting for way too long.
There are enough star blocks to combine
with 5 x 5 blocks to make a wonderful
bunch of children's quilts.
4 blocks x 4 blocks will make a nice 40" finished quilt.
A few of the blocks laid out really
look nice so I am excited to get
them in the works!
So, a bit of time traveling and here we are!
Three lovely little tops ready and a few
scraps into the quiltverse to fulfill their dreams!
The first top was red made from block made
in January on a super focused sew day.
Next was a very impressive blue top .
I trimmed my squares this time and found
there wasn't a lot to trim off.
That is a bit of edification, yay me!
The four star squares in the red looked a little lonely
so I added few more in this top and really like the look.
My star pile appears to have regenerated over night tho.
I felt I over did last year and used more pink than
a well known makeup convention but still found
more pink scraps in the bins/bags.
I did have to make up some 5 x 5 blocks
to show off these stars.
A sewing friend even
helped out by sending me some of her pinks!
This little top turned out to be the star! The colors
flow nicely together and it is a joy to look at .
There are quite a few blocks to be liberated yet.
Thirty red 5 x 5 blocks, twelve orange 5 x 5 s,
and a gorgeous yellow stars & blocks is
emerging on the design wall.
Looks like some sew days ahead!
Great goal would be to quilt these up!
A big spring rabbit came by and dove
down the hole of cutting and binding!
That is for the next post!
Stay safe and sew on !
