Since my midweek post, I've gotten some quilting done on the RSC 2025 quilt that I've decided to call Starburst.
I wanted to quilt in radiating lines out from the center star.
This next picture shows what it looks like so far.
When I'm quilting along, my mind wanders and I start thinking about new projects. Does that happen to you? I started making these quarter star blocks last December with light neutral backgrounds and some were made out of scraps from a Christmas gift project. So my mind was wandering to - what could I do with these leftovers?
I just happened to get an email newsletter from Diane Harris of Stash Bandit that was all about quarter star blocks! Reading through her ideas helped me decide to make one more block from the Christmas scraps for a nine block setting. And then adding a consistent sashing and cornerstones will tie everything together.
This will eventually turn into a little Christmas mini quilt, about 18 inches square.
But for now, back to quilting!

So easy to get distracted by the leftovers! Been there, done that ! Funny how the leftovers project often gets finished before the main quilt. Gail at the cozy quilter.
Perfect name and perfect way to quilt Starburst! The quilting will really enhance the radiating sensation! Those little quarter stars always remind me of a cat peaking from around the wall 0r door! I'm glad you are using them up~!
Perfect little project for those leftovers!
The quilting on starburst is coming along nicely. I am always thinking of the next project as I am piecing! Sometimes I stick to the plan and sometimes something else budges in line, LOL
Your Starburst absolutely glows! Oh I love those Christmas scrap colors! That is going to be a beautiful mini.
Starburst is looking great! Love your quilting design for it. Great solution for the leftover blocks as well. A cute Christmas quilt is always fun.
