Meanwhile, I have six of the smaller stars that measure roughly 6 1/2" square. Here is a photo of them placed haphazardly on my sewing table.
Six smaller blocks - and the "parts dept." in the background. |
Yes, there they are - strings and all. Ha ha. I don't worry about cleaning them up and getting them ironed really neatly until later in the process.
I did sit down and figure out a layout in Electric Quilt. I had to choose a star block and then replicate one fourth of it to make the bigger star blocks fit in the grid.
Stand-in stars used in the layout. Mine will be wonky and scrappy. |
Oh, yes, I baked my cake this morning. It isn't much to look at, but it smells like heaven. I made a peanut butter sheet cake and poured a boiled peanut butter icing over it in the pan. Of course, I had to sprinkle some mini chocolate chips on it too. Ha ha. Fortunately it will be shared with lots of family so I won't wreck my blood sugar readings too badly.
Have a great weekend, I declare it a holiday! Que tengas un buen fin de semana.

Count your lucky stars that you don't have to hear me sing that to you :-)
Love these!!! You are so good!
Happy Belated Birthday, Gene. Hope you had a great day and enjoyed that delicious cake with lots of family and friends.
Mindlessly making stars reminds me of my string blocks. I’m beyond making a quilt but I just keep making them anyhow. Hippo Birdie To Ewe!
When you get this done, it will be so fun...love the stars.... I probably would have saved the whole cake for myself...HA!!
