Green: One becomes Twenty

I jumped in with enthusiasm using some of my green scraps. I was inspired by The Academic Quilter's  rainbow Dancing Stars and pulled some 3.5" green squares from my pre-cut scraps. The bright pink star with the green made me smile and think of spring, even though the ground has been covered with snow this week.

Not wanting to stop with just one, I kept going. I used some old, old, old fabric squares I inherited from my step-mother, their dated look disappeared among the other greens. I cut more squares from scraps and small pieces in my green drawer. I planned for 12 blocks, a nice comfort quilt size. However, I still was enjoying the process and the results, so I ended up with 20 blocks and made a good dent in some of my greens. I'm not sure this quilt is going to comfort quilts any longer, I'll see what I end up doing for sashing and borders.

Other recent finishes include this Wedge Star quilt from this Missouri Star tutorial. The bright batik fabrics printed with squares are all from the same line, samples donated to our comfort quilt program. I cut them into 10" squares to follow along with the layer cake required by the tutorial. Only a little extra fabric from my stash was required to finish the border.

Finally, another monochromatic star quilt with crumb blocks. I was happy to use a nice piece of fleece on the back which was leftover from a jacket I made 10 years ago!
