WooHoo!!! I got my blocks finished last night. Well, the 25 that I had cut out anyway. Still not sure if I am going to do 5 more to have my 5x6 setting or just leave it as a 5x5. Either way I am pleased with how it has turned out. Here are a few of the blocks up on the wall.
Now I am having a little trouble locating all of the little strips that I had cut out for the sashings. They measure 2x15.5 and I had them ALL cut, so now....I have to find them.
As I was finishing up those blocks last night, I pulled these bolts and brought them downstairs so I could look at them and maybe some inspiration would come to mind. I'm not sure if I will do anything with them but I was thinking maybe a 2 color zig-zag quilt. Maybe...but you know me. This is my last partial bolt of cream and I've had the navy for a long time too.
I guess that is all for now. I hope to get some sewing in this evening because tomorrow is probably a loss as far as sewing goes. Tomorrow, Hunter and I both have chiropractor appointments and I also need to see if I can get him in for his physical and shots for 6th grade. Oh and a trip to the grocery store is in order too. :(

Beautiful,beautiful stars!!!
Your blocks look great! I hope you find your sashing strips! :0)
Beautiful star blocks. I could see a double irish chain with the blue and cream....
Love these star blocks, Kristie.
I know you said you don't usually do square quilts. I don't either, but I am realizing they aren't such a bad thing. Someone pointed out on their blog a year or so ago (can't recall who), that with a square quilt on a queen size bed, you don't have to worry about how the quilt goes on the bed. Any which way, it works. I made one that way for a daughter and her DH a while back and they love that feature. : )
Sew SEW pretty!
