Scrappy Stars for August

 Just a quick little post to show you my new project!  I know, I know, I don't need another one but I'm doing it anyway!  :)  Terry over at Terry's Treasures is doing a sew-along.  These are my blocks for the Scrappy Stars Sew-Along.  Only 2 blocks a month, so hopefully I can keep up with that.  It just started for the month of August and you just make as many blocks as you want.  

I first saw this on Michelle's blog and knew I had to join in.  I have lots of 2.5" squares that I am tired of looking at them and some other scraps, so I figure the only way to get rid of them is to use them!  


I wanted to make sure that I didn't use the same fabric twice in any block but look what I did in the first block!  Oh well, once it is all put together hopefully I will never notice it.  

Here is my second block.  I have several 2.5" blocks and 3.5" blocks precut from scraps and leftover from other projects so this was perfect.  And I also get to use up some background yardage that I was tired of looking at too.  

 I also have another star quilt that I want to start soon, but I need to make sure that I have enough white on my bolt before I start it.  


I made one more basket, which takes me to 41 of them.  I also found my cheddar bowties for some reason in my tote of 2.5" squares.  So I got those out and made a few as I was piecing the star blocks.  

Over the next few days my posts will probably be short.  I have a visitor for a few days, so that will take up a lot of my time....see you soon....


Have a wonderful and Blessed day
