Scrap Jar Stars

Wednesday, November 30, 2011

I'm easily distracted...  so what? :)


I did get my banners done though.  And I'm almost done with the binding on that customer's quilt.  And, I'm going to work on the store quilt when I get back from my trip...And, I did clean my shower, my bathtub, my laundry room, my pantry, and folded lots of laundry over the last few days. justification.

But I really didn't need to start a new quilt.  I have about a hundred others in the works.  But, I was just fightin' that feelin' for so long!!!  There's something about starting a new quilt.  The planning, the choosing, the testing...

Do you hear what I'm saying???

    Of course you need to start another quilt, especially one as lovely as that one! It's a free quilt when you use scraps from your stash. But just so you know, you are an enabler and I'm trying to resist. :)

    I so hear you!!! I actually have a little pile of material for a quilt that I am letting myself play with as soon as I get my projects done! It tempts me though and teases me and I take time out to pet it and think about what to make! I really like the scrappy stars!

    Yes, I hear what you're saying! I layed in bed last night thinking that if I didn't sew today I might have an anxiety attack. So I worked on a Christmas table runner, quick and easy. I am in love with those star blocks and really wanted to destash my scrap basket but didn't want to make string quilts. This is fabulous! Your color choices are so, so pretty!

    Your stars are too cute for words! No justification needed - we all understand. Hoping you're starting another project soon if you're so inclined!

    I'm having trouble leaving a comment, so sorry if this is a duplicate of sorts, just wanted to say that it's really cute & i love the little patchwork in the middle. So fun using up those scraps too. You're always so good at that.

    Those are way cute blocks! I love the contrast between the white and bold colors. I started a project amidst many other things too. I think sometimes your brain just needs a new something to help finish the old somethings. :-) Keep up the good work! K-

    Hi Amber, I was following the 'Holiday Gift Tutorials & your table runner is very nice. Could you give me the size of the holly leaf (width X length)? I cannot download the template in the format offered in tutorial.
    Thanks so much,
    GG

    I found your blog from the Pinterest pin of the above photo. Love the block, love the blog. I'm Block of the Month chairman for my guild, and I have this block (minus the cornerstones) scheduled for one of our projects. Isn't it fun?
