It's December, and my creative brain is all over the place. The best way to deal with that is to just go with it! Fortunately, the sort-of-secret Christmas gift project is almost done. I just need to sew on the binding! Since this one has a deadline, I'm glad to get it finished.
Meanwhile, there are scraps to be played with! I cut these large triangles out of the red print and then decided not use them. Could I get a quarter star block out of each one? The answer was yes!
The white design on the red is doves in flight!
It worked out perfectly to make four of these.
So, how about four more made with the green and white floral from the project?
I started making these quarter star blocks last month with scraps that just happened to be left out on my cutting table from other projects, and I think I'll continue to do that through 2025 for a new Rainbow Scrap Challenge project!
Just a random arrangement!

Those are some adorable scrappy stars. Have you decided how many you are going to make yet? The doves look so pretty flying in a row on the binding. You are staying busy, busy, busy. Enjoy your weekend, Diann. Hugs
Love them! What a great idea!
Can't wait to see your secret stitch in full! Love your star blocks - isn't it fun to use those scraps? I am using scraps from a project to make something I saw on your blog. I have a post started. Will I actually post before Christmas? We shall see. ;)
You are teasing us with you secret stitch! Nice that you already have an RSC project started for next year. I finally sewed a bit yesterday after a week of not sewing!
I wonder what your secret stitch is - I'm sure whatever it is it well be a fun piece
Quilt seeds have been sown! (Or is that sewn?) The white bird prints is a great one.
I love that you could get a whole quarter star cut out from those larger triangles. Like you, I’ll be doing those quarter stars for RSC25. The possibilities seem endless! Enjoy your creative processes in the lead-up to Christmas, Diann!
You are so clever, Diann, to envision and create these lovely stars out of your scraps. What a great RSC project, and isn't it fun to start a little Christmas stitching too!
Love those quarter stars. Hmmm, can I add another project to my list??? LOL
The secret project looks fun. Loving those stars. It will be fun to watch them grow next year.
Pretty binding! I like the stars.
Great use of the triangles. Love the stars and it sure is a RSC project. Can't wait to see your secret sewing, I'm sure it's a beauty!
Love the stars that you made out of the scraps! Looking forward to seeing your secret sewing.
Love the Quarter Stars!
Points for starting your 2025 RSC already! I know what I'm doing and have made sample a couple of sample blocks. And, now I'm cutting rectangles to make more -- eventually.
You can always make lemon pie out of lemon peels!
I'm behind on reading blogs . I think that's really a clever use of those triangles! I must check my supply too. Thanks for the idea!
That is a great design for next year's RSC. I need to find one or two and hop on the RSC bandwagon. I think it would help reduce my scraps considerably.
You found a fun block for next year's RSC.
