Ahhh . . something on my design wall! I’ll talk more about these blocks tomorrow but for now, here they are:
Aren’t they bright and cheerful? I’m not sure what to do with them. There are 20 of them. I was going to set them with sashing, 4 x 5, but then I thought about adding a 1-1/2″ frame around them and setting them 3 x 4. If I made 4 more, I’d have enough for 2 donation size quilts . . something like this:
I like it!
What’s on your design wall?

The blocks are wonderful and will make great donation quilts. What a great idea.

Judy, Why don’t you set them on point with one of those fun print fabrics as the setting squares? I remember you showed some fabric a while back that was in your stash that would work great.
CJ says
Oh those are wonderful Judy! I dont’ know how big they are, but that would make a fabulous toddler quilt.. or maybe two?
Kathy says
Love these star blocks! Great colours!

I have a “repeat” Design wall this week after attending my WASIQ Retreat with my ‘online friends’. I included a couple pictures of us before we all left. I had a productive week-end and worked on all but one of my projects I took with me to play with.
I have a ‘secret’ challenge project that is due in JULY at our Local Guild that was fun to play with on my no-stitch Sunday.
