I've been on a mission this week to finish up the quarter star blocks that I need for my Exploding Star project. Back in September, I figured out that I just needed 32 more blocks in the eight colors we had worked on already this year, but then realized I was going to run out of my background fabric, the Grunge in Sea.
I got that ordered and it came last week. So it was time to get back to work on the remaining blocks I needed to finish up my planned layout. And, remember I didn't want to use any fabric more than once throughout the quilt? (Well, except for the center star!) An infusion of pretty scraps from a quilty friend helped with this goal, too.
As of Thursday afternoon, I had made 24 of the 32 new blocks.
Just eight blocks left for the 32 I need to get to 100! So I did a little more cutting and a little more chain piecing, and I was almost there.
Now it's Friday afternoon, and look!
100 Blocks!
So, you know what I had to do, right?! Here they all are!
Next stop - quilt top! But first I think I'll work on the last few 16 Patch Stars that are needed for that project. That will give me a chance to sort through some brown and tan scraps and see what can be used up.
