Blocks

A few blocks to share. First, two Drunkard's path blocks as part of Curves Class. These really were not too hard, though making a whole quilt out of them would be a challenge! The original project was potholders, but I think I will turn these into mug rugs instead.

Last night I pieced these two star blocks from my scraps. My Guild requested 12" (finished) star blocks in red, white, and blue for Quilts of Valor. Any star we wanted, any shades of red white and blue. So I pulled out my Fat Quarterly Shape Workshop for Quilters book since all the blocks are designed to be 12" and they have a whole section on stars. I decided to try the 8 point star, partly because I like how it looks and partly because I already had red white and blue scraps cut to the right sizes ;). I think they turned out pretty nice.

Enjoying the sunshine and the break from winter storms this weekend...starting to look forward to spring already!
