The last 3 stars......maybe..........
I finally went out and picked a bouquet of Lily of the Valley. I also pulled some weeds out by the root since we got over an inch of rain again on Wednesday.
This is the block that was laid out in yesterday's post. I changed the center 4 squares to dark values instead of the light that was in it.
I was using up the triangle squares that were already sewn and there isn't much variety left.
This is block #35. I used the 4 center squares that were in yesterday's layout in this one. They look much better here. Now I need to arrange and rearrange the 35 blocks I have and see if they all play well together. If they don't I will make some more.
For the buyers of the colorwash kits: Here are some links of colorwash pieces in progress.
link one, link two, link three, link four.

You have been staying busy.... I like the stars and will be watching to see the layout. Just goes to show that a little bit each day goes fast enough.... We are in the spring... season.... last week was wet and gray almost continuously. Sun the last 2 days....
Yesterday I started resorting all the squares in my tray boxes to accommodate the new ones. I found that I lack yellows. I have to break up some of the colors into more trays, as I have so many, say dark blues or light blues, that they need their own tray.
Love the new star you "fixed." I so wish I could take your color class--a 3 hour plane ride is a bit much. I'm going to have to settle for blog learning :)
Thank you. I like to study how you make your design choices. Yes, I can see how much better that block is.
Three more lovely blocks! I do like your center fix.
I loved picking lilies of the valley at the house where I grew up. I still don't understand why so many people insist they are "weeds."
A beautiful vase for the lily of the valley. Is that an older one with the handle? I have 2 vases with handles, and was told during the war vases were not an item allowed to be imported, so they came with a handle and were called "jugs". Lovely change for the top block, looks great.
The smell of the lillies of the valley must be wonderful! I can't wait to see all the stars up on your design wall as you start arranging them.
Lilly of the Valley is one of my favourite flowers. tHE STAR BLOCKS ARE COMING ALONG NICELY, GREAT WORK.
so you now have 35 blocks this is going to be a great quilt, lily of the valley looks so pretty in the vase
