This, That, and the Other

 Last Saturday, we were 8 hours from home in a house with 12 children, so I didn’t have a chance to post.  Therefore, this is two weeks’ sewing.

Before the trip, I made a scrappy pillow cover to accompany my Valentine quilt.  It used up my unintended extra block.

This week, after returning home Tuesday, I made 10 of the 21 remaining split star blocks.  Definitely not purple, but my leader and ender bow ties are.  I have very few different purples, so the blocks repeat plenty.  They are all scrappy, which is the point.
I am at a temporary loss for another scrappy project.  It’s okay; there are many other things to do, but I do enjoy the passion for a project.  All in good time.

Love the pillow, and the split stars and bow ties are wonderful. I come from a big family, and I remember stuffed houses like that as great times, but now that I'm an adult I think it would be exhausting for the parents. Yay for being home!

That's a great pillow - perfect companion to the heart quilt! I love those split stars. Glad you've been able to make progress on them!

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...
