After a week away from my sewing machine, I was ready to get back at it, and decided to work on some quarter star blocks. The last time I shared the progress on these blocks (after making aqua in August) they were looking like this -
and I decided at that point to make 32 more blocks
to fill out the square of 100.
For September, we're adding more light blues and greens to our block collections, so I first had to check what I had already made in those colors.
Since I'm trying not to repeat any fabrics in these blocks, the question was - could I make four more each of blue and green without a repeat. And the answer is... Yes!
One ended up as a dark green, and several are really light,
but in this quilt they'll all fit!
Then I realized that 32 more blocks means just four more each of all the colors we've already worked on. So - blues and greens ✔️, how about reds next?
Ready to go!
And along the way, I finished up the two green Gameboard blocks that I had made four patches for earlier this year.

I really look forward to seeing the rest of the quarter stars, it is making such a pretty quilt. It's amazing how well you keep up with your projects.
I used to be a bit depressed on the way home from a trip, but once I was there it was good to be back in the routine.
How fun that you are not going to repeat the fabrics in this one!
I love this quarter star piece! Can't wait to see it finished! The gameboard is so fun!
So fun to hunt through our stashes to find fabrics for our RSC projects…I could also easily not repeat a fabric in my projects… both of these quilts are looking wonderful. Gail at the cozy quilter.
Nice that you found more blues so you'd not have repeats!!
Great work on these two quilts...hugs, Julierose
I've always loved this project of yours, so nice to see it growing and you have a plan for it to all come together.
I like those game board blocks!
Both RSC projects are looking good. Happy stitching this week.
loving it even more with each color addition! quite inspiring
Your projects are looking good. Like everyone else I’m anxious to see the quarter star quilt top finished. You are a great finisher. Me,not so much!
Aren't those quarter star blocks so pretty! And I love the gameboard blocks too, Diann.
Your Gameboard blocks look great together. And those quarter stars - so striking as you keep adding colors. Wow!
I'm impressed. Not a single duplicate quarter star in the bunch. I love the layout, how it shines outward from the center.
I like that star pattern it is really different
Every look at your quarter stars is more enticing! And those Gameboard blocks make my heart squeeze every time. They are so fun!
I like your Gameboard project. It's looking great.
I've admired each round of quarter stars -- the arrangement is so lively! And the gameboards are great.
I really like both the star quarters and the gameboard blocks. Such a great projects to use scraps. Thanks for sharing in Sew & Tell.
They're both coming along beautifully! Love the quarter stars but my heart leans a little closer to Game Board. Those are really neat blocks!
