Summer Stars

 


Despite joining in six weeks late, I was able to complete the Summer Stars "mystery" quilt hosted by the Temecula Quilt Shop this summer!  I finished on Saturday.

It was a fun, easy little project.  I still have to quilt it, but that won't take long.  

Here is an update on my blue and cream stars for my new King-sized bed.   I have 28 done now and if you remember, I need 121 total.  What you don't see is the big stacks of pieces I have cut.  I'm using fabric from my "fat quarter and smaller" stash, so cutting isn't as straight-forward as it may seem.

I got distracted by Another Year of Schnibbles.  Our new project for September is what many of us were expecting/predicting/hoping/anticipating/longing for:  one of Carries new Little Bites--Speck

You can see that there are two versions--it is made of the same units, but arranged into two different blocks: the "X" or the "O."  I'm working away on my version already.  We also got a "heads up" about the October project.  That one will be a larger project than normal.  We have a choice of two patterns, Hubble or Bounce, and both finish around 70 inches.

I haven't been able to make up my mind yet about which one I want to do.  I'm pondering.

Have a great day!
