I had a really productive weekend! I was able to work on the blog, work on unfinished projects, and just hang out and relax with the family. I love weekends like that!
Sunday, I was reorganizing all of the projects I have in progress and pulled this one out.
I stopped working on these little beauties a couple of weeks ago. I have 9 of 20 stars done.
Sunday, I worked on them for about three hours.
I got all of the squares sewn together:
Cut into half-square triangles:
And finally, pressed.
Each star is now in it's own little bag ready to be sewn...
...and that makes me happy
I honestly can't get enough of this fabric! I LOVE the vibrancy and fun floral patterns in each fabric. I have quite a bit leftover, so I am really debating if I want to use it for a whole new project. Or use the leftovers for the backing, borders, or binding....
hmm...
such hard decisions...

I love the fabric, too. I can understand your obsession.
I recently discovered the pieced/scrappy backings (I used to think it had to be one solid piece--silly me!) and love the unexpectedness of it. There is just so many possibilities with all the leftovers. Be sure to show off what you decide.
Such pretty fabric! Productive weekends are the best and I love that you organized each block and put it into its own bag. It makes for easier sewing later on. Might have to do that in the future. Thanks for sharing!
These are beautiful Lindsey!
They look fabulous far, I can't wait to see the finished project!
That's going to make a gorgeous quilt.
Wow, your blocks are going to be stellar! I love the fabrics you're using. I'm sure it's great to have them ready to go!
Popping over from Show & Tell Tuesday!
Oh you look so organized, I love it! Those are going to be fabulous. Love the fabric too.
Oh you are so organised! That ought to make it fast to put those blocks together! Great fabrics!
HST's are so cute - I love all the colors!
Beautiful fabric! That will look great when finished. And what a great idea to organize your projects. I'll have to try that one :)
I wish I can work that organized! Such lovely sight all those HST's in plastic bags. Lovely fabrics. Love to see your quilt finished.
Love from Amsterdam

And I thought I was the only person who organised their blocks like that - and it makes me happy too :-)

Gorgeous fabrics, and bravo to you for getting all of them ready to sew up. That in itself is a feat! Personally, I love putting the scraps in my backings. I always sew them in an improv style, and it's so much fun!
Thank you so much for sharing at Needle and Thread Thursday!
