A few days ago, I wrote about saving the cut away triangles from the Snowball blocks I am making with the intent of using them in some future, as yet-to-be-determined quilt. Today, I can report that I have a plan.
Friendship Star blocks have always appealed to me - actually, I love most star blocks - and these little 4.5" cuties will look wonderful in a quilt! I will stitch them with wild abandon, not concerning myself with matching blues, and go for a totally scrappy blue bonus quilt.
Just imagine what 105 little blue stars with neutral alternate blocks will look like. Enchanting! Why 105? Because that is how many Snowball blocks I will need for Snow Shoo, my current project.
This bonus quilt is gonna be so worth the extra time spent sewing now for the rewards I will reap later. Good philosophy!
Linking today with Needle and Thread Thursday.
Happy Quilting, Friends!
This is going to be a cute quilt. A great way to use up those HST's.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right!! It is going to be wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteA great idea indeed. Holding myself back from rushing to my bonus triangles bin and trying out a couple. They would have to be scrappy since the bin is chock-a-block full with no sorting done. hmm....
