While also getting started on the construction of my quarter star quilt top, I did some fabric sorting this week. Angela called for browns and blacks for our October blocks, so I was specifically looking for scraps in those colorways to make two more 16 patch stars.
So, how about some light browns and grays? That's in the vicinity, right?!
These grays were hard to photograph - much prettier in person!
And they did work to make the last two blocks that I needed.
So now there are twenty 16 patch stars! I'm not sure yet about the final layout for these, but will figure that out in the coming weeks. I'm planning to send these to Many Hands, Many Hearts, but will send them as a sewn together quilt top.
We're headed on a quick road trip up to Nebraska to visit our older son for a couple days, so I may not have time to reply to comments for a day or two. But I'll be back!

Enjoy your visit with your son! Another star themed RSC quilt nearing completion…love all those colourful scraps. Gail at the cozy quilter.
I love this quilt top! Very pretty! Have a fun visit!
Those two blocks really are perfect with the rest of your blocks. Enjoy your visit with your son in Nebraska!
Have a great time on your trip. I love the extra depth that those more neutral blocks add to your quilt top. It is so hard to add those to rainbow quilts, but I do love the variety.
A wonderful top of scrappy squares and stars, Diann.
I love those scrappy star blocks! So fun, and they look wonderful all together. Enjoy your trip to NE - getting close to my neck of the woods in SD.
I wonder how it would look if you turned every other one upside down? Or rotated each one 90-degrees from the next? Looks like this has lots of possibilities.
These are such fun blocks.
Awesome that you now have enough stars ready for a top. I know you will enjoy your visit with your son.
Woo! Love seeing those star blocks all together, Diann. They are still a favorite block, and one I have yet to do. Maybe 2026? Have a great weekend visiting your older son.
This is so great! I love it.
Enjoy your trip. Those blocks are so pretty.
Wow! Those stars truly sparkle! I like the layout as it is. I think I am going to follow your lead and make these my blocks for the RSC next year!
I like Carole's idea of changing the orientation of some of the stars. I think it would give it some movement. Good idea to visit Nebraska before the snow flies.

the grays and browns look really good - I like the whole quilt - I need to make another star quilt - maybe next year I will participate again I kind of got away from it when I was finishing up others this year. Have a good trip - I believe your son lives in the area that Mike lived in for the first 15 years of his life - he loved it there and we have been there many times for overnight stops so he could visit places he used to see.
I love your 16-Patch Stars together, beautiful mix of colors.
Your 16 patch stars are very fun. That's going to be a colorful donation quilt someone will really love.
how pretty ! now I want to make that one too! looks like you'll have good weather for the trip, have fun
