Getting started with red...

Starting again with a new color is always my favorite way to mark the beginning of the month.  Red for March means - sorting through and seeing what I have.


Cutting into some of it for blocks - 


and sewing a few up!



And then there's the opportunity to see what happens when you lay all the blocks out, now that there are some red ones.

I'm starting to see how I want the starburst to form with each color addition.
The blues won't really go where I have them now - it will be oranges and yellows in the next round.  I might need more yellow blocks!

Love this, Diann! It reminds me of another (exploding) star I saw recently https://blueelephantstitches.com/scrap-quilt-2/ - am sew tempted to give it a try too.

Looking good! What size are your blocks?

Very pretty. I saw a neat quilt with these blocks surrounding it. The playing is the fun part.

Sara said...

That is a dramatic layout for those blocks. I like it. The dark background really makes the colors pop.

I used to have a lot of red but now that box is actually lower than it used to be and blue and green are the colors I have the most of.
