I love making these stars and today I was visiting Marit's blog and saw these cross blocks. I think they really complement the stars. They are easy to make but have a big impact. Visit her blog and look at the great things she has done.
I love the way these are turning out.
I also made some Broken Dishes blocks. I love the ways you can put these together.
I am disappointed in this picture. They look much better in person, more impact. I might use them for a border or to fill in spots.
One of my favorite little stars. I am experimenting with using rectangles rather than squares for the stars. Gwen Marston has some examples in her Liberated Quiltmaking II book.
I am using mostly scraps for all the stars I have made. Fun to use them up.
My sweet Gus. We have a big bad summer thunderstorm coming and he does not like storms. He really does not like the thunder.
I am making parts and my aunt and I are going to put her parts and mine together for a couple of quilts. I am planning some sawtooth and some spiky sawtooth border.
We are expecting temps in the high 90s, maybe even 100 this week. I am staying in and sewing!!

Wow, you are having a fun time.....you are a star machine....glad you get to do this and that you are having such fun.
Hi True Blue!!
LOVE your stars!!! The cross blocks look great mixed in with the stars. I went straight over to Marit's blog - don't you love her selvedge quilt!
It's a beautiful clear, crisp day here today, good sewing weather!
Have fun!
I'm luving the colour! We're having lots of thunder as well!
I can see a wonderful "parts" quilt appearing. I love parts quilts.
Keep on having fun and stay out of the heat.
love your stars....your gus and my E would get along just fine, he hates it as well
That sounds like fun sharing parts for a couple quilts. You will probably get all kinds of ideas when you see the 2 sets together.
wonderful blocks!
Wow, you're making stars like a maniac! They look wonderful, and they're so much fun. I like the look of the rectangles too. Fun!
The cross blocks go well with the stars. I'm trying to resist those cross blocks - we'll see how well I manage!
I think making a parts quilt or two would be so much fun! Can't wait to see what you come up with.
