This week, I worked on finishing the top for my Bonnie Hunter Sand Castles quilt. I made the blocks last year, laid them out in spectrum fashion, then made a piano keys border and finished it up. Still need to piece a back but the top is done. Because I was working hard on that this week, I only got these 4 pink blocks done this week. But I only have one more kind of blocks to make this month, so I’m doing well.
These blocks are from a Pat Sloan QAL from last year. It was called Cozy Things and I really love this star. I’m calling it Cozy Star in a nod to her designing it. It’s Block 6 from the QAL but I’ve shrunk it down from a 12″ block to an 8.75″ unfinished block by subtracting an inch from the dimensions of all the subcut pieces. My plan is to make some of these each month all year, then decide on a setting. Sashing? Straight line? On point? Spectrum order? Scrappy? Whatever moves me in November. LOL
Wonderful blocks! I love any kind of star or pinwheel and they are so cute combined.
Such a cute block. I like the smaller size as well. Who knows how the spirit will move you in November, figuring that out is all part of the fun.
Pretty PINK scraps in your blocks for the RSC!!
Bonnie Hunter is inspiring with her patterns and your blocks look fresh and modern.
Congratulations on finishing the Sand Castles. That’s a lot of pieces! Your pink stars are adorable and a whole quilt of them will be quite lovely.
