Design Wall Monday ~ Twinkler

 Hi Quilty Friends!  The Twinkler quilt blocks now fill the design wall.  Twenty-two little shining stars.

  

I was hoping for this to be a quilt top by now.  Slow progress is better than no progress.  Maybe by next Monday the quilt top will be ready to quilt.  The prints are cut for the remaining 20 blocks, but the background fabric is being cut as I go. I think today I'll finish cutting the fabric for the rest of the quilt.  That seems to light a fire in my piecing process. 

Trimming the flippy corner bonus HST's is first on the list today.  This quilt will produce 336 bonus HST's.  Trimming a few at a time is easier on the neck and shoulders.  I'm not complaining because I know these little cuties will someday become part of a darling quilt.

One of my biggest problems is I like to play with the blocks and pet the fabrics.  There was no reason for me to stage this picture other than I thought it would look cute.  Wasted time, but it makes me happy!

After playing for a bit, all the blocks were removed from the design wall to make room for the remaining blocks to be made.  This orange block was placed on the top of the stack as a reminder.  We'll talk more about that later in the week.

Here's a little earworm for the day.  A blast from the past and my high school years.
