Moving on to Star Blocks
I finished those darn ears of corn blocks and have moved on to the star blocks, which will go much more quickly. I don't think I am going to make this runner as long as the pattern directs. It will be more useful to me if it is a couple of block shorter. I've been…

Piece and Quilt Progress and a Remake
I'm having fun trying to get caught up in the Piece and Quilt sew-along, based on the Celebrate with Quilts book by Susan Ache and Lissa Alexander.

Summer in the Country Block 15- Star Flower
Every time I make a new block I feel as if I have a new favorite. This cutie is Star Flower, designed by Christine Weld of thequarterinch.blogspot.com for the Moda Bakeshop Summer in the Country sew along of a few years back.
