I returned to my Stained Glass Stars this week to make two more. While I was chopping up my Vicki Welsh stash for my hexies, I cut enough 1.5” strips that it made sense to make a few more.
Most of my week was not spent on scraps, but on utilizing stash acquisitions from last summer. I purchased a number of greens, more intended for a Christmas quilt, but which also came in handy when my oldest son Q requested a dragon quilt. I hemmed and hawed over how to accomplish such a pattern, and finally settled on a perler bead pattern, biggie-sized. I’m halfway through the dragon, and then will have 18 rows to add his name in, which is my current design dilemma. In the meantime, I sew batches of strips together, subcut, and layout two rows at a time. I’ve had a few surgical procedures, but I’ve figured them all out before I’ve sewn the rows in pairs, so there is hope for me yet! I may try to finish this quilt for his birthday in April, or I may not. I think it will depend on February’s scrappy color.
As my leaders and enders (at least for now), I'm sewing the squares on ends of the strips for Jared Takes a Wife. I finished all the greens this week, so now I'm tackling the red.

Wow! I love your blue Stained Glass Stars. Gorgeous! The new project sounds like a chore but it really looks fantastic. Good luck with keeping the rows in order. ;^)
Beautiful blue stars! And I'm amazed by your dragon!
I'm also amazed by your dragon! It's so fun to see how different designs can be translated into fabric!
That dragon is definitely fun and pretty amazing! I hope Q appreciates your efforts there. Looks like you've done really well at keeping several projects moving this week.
