I made a little test block for the Laundry Basket "Aurora" project I am embarking upon. It is an adorable little four inch finished block. There are 127 of them called for in the quilt top. I will probably be working on this project for the next three years. Those are tiny little star blocks.
I spent most of yesterday cutting, and still am not finished. I took a break and made the test block, using my Bloc Loc trim tool.
That little trim tool is worth it's weight in gold, I tell you. The flying geese units are coming out perfectly, which they always do when I use this ruler. One gets such precise results with it. The stars will go together like a dream. All 126 more of them.
Hope your week is going well!

What a perfectly charming wee star! One done, 126 to go. 🙂
I find the block-loc tools too expensive, too. My make 4 matching Flying geese at a time method also gives perfect results as you trim thoe, too.
Have fun! Oh, and don’t lost count!!

This is going to be a beautiful quilt! I love your fabrics and pattern. Actually, every pattern in that book is stunning. Sounds like you are taking your time and enjoying each step of the process. Perfect!

Cute little star block!
I don’t have a blocloc ruler I think they are too expensive and you need way too many of them. I love my normal ruler (8.5″x12″ from Omnigrip) and I can cut everything with it.

Those are tiny blocks! I know you’ll enjoy all the stitching and tolerate the tedious cutting and trimming just fine over the next three years 😜

I made 3″ stars for a miniature with my Bloc Loc rulers. Oh, they really help keep your block sizes true which is so important with so tiny blocks! Your choice of background in so pretty. I look forward to seeing the progress you make.
