It's been slow going with these blocks. They are very fiddly to sew, although I'm getting better with them the more I do. I have been working on them during my Friday night sewing group, but I wasn't getting much done. Yesterday I decided I'd better devote some more time to them or this project will take, oh I don't know, roughly forever.


We were awakened this morning at 5:15 by a telephone call. My husband answered it since the phone is on his side of the bed. He sat there so long listening and nodding (and looking very serious) that I thought something awful must have happened, but it was only the new automated calling system to let us know that we had a two hour delay this morning!
We got the famous southern Indiana "winter mix," which is snow, freezing rain, and sleet. Not a fun thing to drive through before dawn. By the time I left for school it had quit and the snow quickly melted off. But, they are forecasting a winter storm for tomorrow. It looks like I'll have plenty of time to sew some more stars.
Edited to add: Sorry! I forgot to link you back to Judy L.'s Patchwork Times. You can check out what others have on their design wall this week by clicking on the link.
Wow, what patience you must have. The blocks look wonderful, I'd be pinning a lot, too.
ReplyDeleteYour stars are really pretty. They are well worth fussing over.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping you get a "weather day" soon!
Those stars are beautiful and they look so pretty on your wood floor!
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks! Awesome job! Looks great! 8-)
ReplyDeleteHappy stitchings!
Your blocks are beautiful. I have only made one block where the diamonds meet in the center and it was terrible. But your blocks look so good, I may have to try it again.
ReplyDeleteYour star quilt is going to be gorgeous and I pin lots and lots, too.
ReplyDeleteThat BOM would be hard to resist as there is just so much going or it and your Boston Commons is beautiful!
LOL I have a design floor too! after I move furniture out of the way - I really must get one of those portable walls.

When there's a really nice square like these the quilt is apt to grow -- at least for me and, it seems, for you too. If you love it, why not? It's going to be gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI lived with only a design floor for a long time. Now that I"m retired and in a bigger apartment I have a design wall but I resort to the floor often. Sometimes it's just easier.
