DWM~ Plans for HST's

Morning quilty friends.  I'm still plugging along on the Flippy corners quilt.  A few more blocks were made over the long weekend.   The adorable little 5.5"  twinkling stars have been the highlight of my weekend. However I've barely made a dent in the basket of bonus HST's.  But this seems like a good stopping place.  So I started playing around with a few setting ideas for the blocks.

Using only 8 blocks is a bit of a design challenge.  I came up 10 different layouts for the blocks.  How about a peek at a few of the ideas?  The design below really makes those twinkly stars shine.  The background fabric would be linen left over from another project.

Oh but I'm a real sucker for the white background.  Simple, and the stars still shine.

Maybe a table runner ....lots of room for quilting.

Decisions, Decisions....I like them all.  Which one would you make?

Half Square Triangle BOM

I've never done BOM's before, but this year so far I'm doing 3!  One of them I'm actually making 2 of each block.  Why you ask, because I'm also teaching a couple of friends how to put it together.  So I make a test block before each lesson.  And then I found this really easy one here  http://incolororder.blogspot.com/2012/01/hst-block-of-month-january.html  , and it helps to reduce the stash, which is another objective.  Here's my block.   Took me less than an hour to put this beauty together.  Hop on over and take a look and join the fun!  I'm also just starting The My Tweets BOM.  When I get my first block done I'll post. 

And this is my practice block for my other BOM.  Its from our LQS.  Not sure I'm liking the color placement on this....humm....what do you think?  Should I remake with the white and lavender switched?  Pin It
