Here's my second block for the Star Quilt Along. I know we're in week three, but I just decided which fabrics to use for last week's block. I have 4 different prints that I'd like to limit myself to for the blocks, so I'm going to sit down and plan all the fabrics for the blocks now. I've got a separate print for the setting blocks, so I guess I could start on those anytime...
Here's my first block for the Quilt Along! I chose a darker tan for the background, and the actual prints are really pretty muted ones in greens/blues/pale violette. It was fun to make because I've never really done star blocks before. My block is a tad small though- it's supposed to be 12.5 square, and mine's about 12.25 square. I know my seams are all 1/4", but maybe I cut some off? It seemed to go together well, so I don't know. I think I'm just going to keep at it, and see what my block looks like next week before I redo everything.
I finally found something for my front bathroom! I've lived here for 2 years and that bathroom is bare. I got this print from Yumi Yumi, and just love it. It's the perfect color for my towels. I got the frame and mattes at JoAnn's on super clearance, so this was some pretty inexpensive art; just the kind I like!
