Scrappy Stars

Good Monday Morning!  Hope everyone is thawing out.  There's very little snow left in Podunk.  The weatherman says we should see temperatures in the high 50's this week.  Whoohoo!  I loved the snow but it's time to soak up some sun while gardening.  There's nothing better than the smell of fresh spring air.  If they could bottle it, I'd buy it!  


I'm still quilting my current small project.  I've made very little progress.  This thing has given me FITS.  Ripping and picking, pouting and cussing.  The problem?  Me not paying attention.  I would lay out one row at a time by the sewing machine.  Somehow I would get them turned the wrong direction after flipping right sides together.  Of course the first time noticed I did this was after an entire row had been piece and pressed.  Oh well it's part of the quilting process, there's gonna be those days when nothing goes right.  It's also good to work out of the comfort zone to improve quilting skills.  Maybe I should make another project using these triangles since this one got the better of me.  Nah...I'd rather make some Podunk Posy blocks, wouldn't you?!

Playing with string scraps

The last quilt, Hillbilly Hookup, made a lot of scraps.  I tried tossing them in the trash, only to pull them out...twice.  Oh fiddlesticks!  I might as well just get it over with and make something from them.  Even though the scrap pieces were small and oddly shaped,  I managed to get enough 2.5 triangles cut for 7 wacky looking stars.


To cut the triangles I used a Hex N More ruler.  Unless my plan changes I'll need to use this ruler again to for the hex shape.


There's still a huge pile of  tiny string scraps.  Can I throw them away?  Not yet...I've tried but it just seems like a waste.
