This week's task for the Luminous Layers QAL at mmmquilts probably took me longer to cut and trim than to sew! I needed eight blue and yellow 8.5 inch HSTs and four 8.5 inch blue squares for that center star.
I'm guessing that this week we'll be digging into that center section which is a little more complicated. I'll be using more of the blue, yellow, and dark green, along with the lighter green background, and adding in some pops of pink!
One other project I worked on this week was a pin cushion made of a few selvages that I've been collecting. I thought this would make a fun birthday gift for a friend! I just sewed the selvage strips in layers with the raw edges on the outside and ironed them to some fusible interfacing before sewing on a backing and filling it with crushed walnut shells.
Cute pin cushion! I love making things with my selvages. Your friend will love it. Your star quilt is looking great. Fun to see it grow as you complete each part.
ReplyDeleteVery cute pin cushion, you have some nice selvages. Your stars are looking good. Looking forward to seeing the center come together.
ReplyDeleteDo you save all your selvage's? I have not gotten into that, way to many scraps to deal with, haha.
ReplyDeletehow big will the star be? I have not gotten into saving salvages but that is really cute.
