This week I continued to fiddle with my lighter green squares to come up with the right ones for a second 16 patch star block. I got them to this group by piecing a couple squares from strips.
A couple of them still bothered me, though, so I took a few away, added a few more in, and finally ended up with this:
Done!
And here are the two together:
Along the way I stitched up two tiny green sixteen patch blocks as leaders and enders that will eventually become Gameboard blocks, a design I borrowed from Sara @ My Sewing Room.
And one more thing was worked on - a strippy quilt-as-you-go project that I'll post more about later in the month. This one gets all the greens (and some flowers, too)!

Loving your green blocks! I'm using more green these days, still find it tricky to get a cohesive look:(
ReplyDeleteLove these green blocks! Spring green makes me so happy. I like both of your choices for block type! Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun to "borrow" new ideas from other quilters? I'm constantly finding inspiration in the blogs I follow. Love those scrappy star blocks especially!
ReplyDeleteYou did really well with your light green star block. It is challenging sometimes to find the right shades when working from scraps. You have some very fun scrappy projects in the works.
ReplyDeletenice green blocks. They are all looking good.

ReplyDeleteSuch a great month for green scraps, as I look out my window I see green everywhere with the trees almost fully leafed out I almost can't see the neighbors house! I love your finished green blocks, just perfect.
ReplyDeleteYour scrappy stars are awesome, Diann! Those gameboard blocks are the one certain thing so far on my list of 2026 RSC blocks, thanks to you and Sara!
