I focused my scrappy sewing on the orange 16 patch stars this week. I started out by cutting as many 3.5 inch squares as I could find from all the oranges I had. There were a few that could only get one or two. Then I sorted by brighter compared to darker.
Not perfect, but these will do!
Sewing these up goes really fast once I've made the star points.
Then - you know me - I have to get out all the blocks and see the results for the first half of the year. I love these!
Along the way, I finished up a tiny orange 16 patch block, and turned it into a Gameboard block. These are fun, too!

Fun RSC blocks! I had never seen game board blocks before you started making them. I am only doing one RSC project this year. I hope to get into my sewing room later today. I have an outside job to do first. Gail at the cozy quilter
ReplyDeletethose are some good blocks - I had not heard of the "game board" blocks either
ReplyDeleteFor not having much orange, you sure scored on making blocks this month! I like seeing the growing group of stars!-
ReplyDeleteYou have some pretty oranges there.
ReplyDeleteYour scrappy star blocks are so bright and fun. You made good use of your orange scraps this week.
ReplyDeleteCute little blocks.
ReplyDeleteI know how fun those scrappy stars are and may have to do those again sometime! Yours are lovely (no surprise there). Still drooling over the gameboard blocks!
ReplyDeleteI like both blocks but the white shining star especially. Great range of values Diann

ReplyDeleteYou've done great with orange! Those game board ones are so fun.

ReplyDeleteThe star blocks look so great together, Diann. You're half way there.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty oranges! The star blocks are great. So are the game board blocks!
ReplyDeleteHaven’t been in my sewing room in almost a week. Hope that this week there will be 30 minutes each day. That’s my goal! Your oranges are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying each new configuration of your star in the corner blocks. A great choice for this year's RSC.
ReplyDeleteAt this stage it's such fun to group the RSC blocks to get the full rainbow effect!
ReplyDeleteThe star blocks are going to make a pretty quilt. The gameboard blocks are looking nice as well.
