My focus this week has been on finishing up my Stay at Home Round Robin project, and I'm right on track with that. It was sandwiched and basted for quilting on Wednesday, and quilting started, too.
For the backing, I used up most of the last of my favorite floral that I first used in Pieces of My Life, and also in this project. It has such a great selvage!
There was enough of this one left that I could make some quarter star blocks for my current Rainbow Scrap Challenge project - these are fun!
And then I got to thinking about a possible layout for these blocks - different from what I had originally been thinking. Maybe you would call it a starburst?
These are all the blocks I've made so far - eight each in blue, pink, and yellow.
For a design like this, I'll probably need to do some planning. I might need more of some colors than others. Time to start thinking about that!

Oooh a starburst quilt ! How pretty this is going to be. I am looking forward to watching your new quilt develop. Love the pretty floral fabric. Have a lovely weekend, Diann.
Your backing fabric is so pretty! Love the starburst design for the RSC too. I think it would look good if you arranged the colours in rainbow order….like the floral fabric was bursting into song!
Starburst is fantastic!!! What a great quilt this will make.
Love stars and the SAHRR piece is ADORABLE! I love the interesting messages on the selvedges!
Congrats on all the progress on the SAHRR. I'm still finishing up border #6. The Starburst plan for your RSC project looks like a winner. Very cool.
Yay on the SAHRR quilting, and that backing is so, so pretty. Love your new Starburst quilt start!
nice to have the round robin done huh - now to quilt it.
Good to have the RR done and I love the bright yellow in your RSC block. The Starburst pattern is a fun one. :)
Great progress for you this week. Love how the starburst happened. Brilliant!
"Create Joy Project" is a good name -- and it's a lovely print.
Great backing fabric and what a wonderful selvage! Don't we want to be creating joy when we quilt? I LOVE your starburst design. You are on a roll!
That is such a happy yellow fabric. Blue and Yellow = Ukraine. At least that is what I have been thinking. Have a great weekend.
Such a lovely starburst, I like it. It will be interesting to see how it evolves with the other colours added over the months.
What a pretty round robin quilt! It looks like spring! Love the floral back, and the selvedge saying is amazing! Starburst is a great idea. Your blocks are very versatile!
The round robin quilt looks great. I like where you are going with the starburst.
Round Robin progress is awesome & I LOVE that potential layout for your quarters. Super cool!
Great job on your SAHRR quilt. The starburst quilt is looking very nice...if you decided to keep this layout going. You got great use out of the floral fabric...well done!
I love that selvage <3 Your SAHRR looks good. Thanks for sharing in my Sew & Tell party.
I really like the starburst layout for the quarter star blocks! I also love that floral especially the selvage. I still have to finish my SAHRR tops!
I really like how that blue background makes the colors in the other pieces just sing!
