St. Patrick's Day

Ah, Stained Glass Stars, how glorious you are... when you're done!  I don't know that I will set these blocks on point, but it seemed a lovely way to enjoy them for the time being.  I'm glad I only have a few blocks to make each month, but I'm glad I'm trying something more challenging than my preferred quilt blocks.
 I cut my churn dash blocks this week, sewed all the components, and now I have a pile to assemble. These six are the beginning.  I find many of my green fabrics are very similar in color, but that's okay for this quilt!
 In the meantime, as my leader and ender, I almost sewed all the pairs of strips for my 16 patches.  Now that I've trimmed the backing on this month's UFO, I have two more strips of green to sew up.

P.S.  Check out all the blocks that are just the right color for St. Patrick's Day!

your stars are fantastic! It does feel good to do something out of our ordinary... and I love your churn dashes! I could say they're one of my favorite blocks- I really should make some- maybe i'll add it to RSC19! ha!

Aren't those stars gorgeous?! I love the dark blue background. Churn dashes look great, too - lots of pretty green!

The Stained Glass blocks are gorgeous! They really do have a nice sparkle to them. Congrats on all the progress in the sewing room.

The stars look great on point! You could put some sashing with them right now and have a lovely quilt. Can't wait to see them in some other colors, though, like pink and yellow. Did you have a pattern for these? Also, great progress on the other projects!

Those stars look time consuming! Love the churns

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
