The 4 patches for 24 more blocks are sewn and just waiting for me to cut the 4.5" squares to go with them.
I was pretty sure there was another box in the basement with more pairs of the 2.5" and 4.5" strips. I knew where it was (yes, really!!) so I retrieved them and counted 36, which will make 72 blocks. So far I have only sewn the purple/green combinations. If I sew all of these plus the ones left from the first group I showed a few days ago, I will have 138 eight inch blocks of miscellaneous colors. That should give me enough TV sewing for a few nights.
I have been thinking about the 30 twelve inch floral star blocks and how boring it will be to just sew them in rows (maybe with sashing). I just think I should do something else with them.
This is a quilt I made in 2009 with 16" and 8" stars, 4 patches and 8" squares of several of the fabrics in the stars. I have always loved this one and don't even have a photo of the whole quilt. It was a gift for my daughter.
I did take a couple detail shots before I mailed it to her. If I do something like this with those 20 blocks, I think it would be a lot more interesting and I have plenty of floral fabrics to work with.

How big would you go with the floral stars? It will be fun to see it come together 🙂
Great to use that pattern you made for your daughter using these pretty floral stars, Wanda...;)))
26 this morning here; awaiting the drop in temp preceding that big storm...they say a foot of snow here--we haven't had anywhere near that in over 5 years...well, we are snuggled in here and have plenty of propane for our generator.
Stay safe and warm there hugs, Julierose
