Star Blocks

Star Blocks Trimmings

Pile of Star Blocks

Happy (belated) Easter! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Today the weather was a bit gloomy around here. The forecast predicted rain all day and while it ended up not raining much we decided to spend the day indoors; thus, lots  of sewing time. I worked on my Star Quit I had started at the beginning of the year. I have been working on this quilt on and off for three months and I feel it is about time I finish it :) I had a few more  blocks to complete. So I went ahead and pieced the last blocks then trimmed and trimmed. Now all of my 56 beautiful blocks are trimmed and ready to be made into a quilt top. Can't wait to finish this one!

Have a lovely week!
Martha.

  3. Your blocks look great. I love the extended star look rather than the flying geese look.
