100 Blocks!

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.
