Just about a year ago now, I started working on blue star blocks. Does anyone remember? If not, you can go here, here, and here to refresh your memory. Go ahead. I'll wait. [humming}
I can't believe that I finished that quilt and didn't show you!!! Especially since I did not make one quilt but two!
About two-thirds of the way through this project, I decided that I don't really want to make full size quilts. We have two beds (which already have two quilts apiece) and very few relatives who could use quilts. So I plan to concentrate on lap quilts. Yes, the decision required some ripping, but I've been doing a lot of that on these stars anyway!
So, with one lap size finished, I had some stars left over. What to do? Why, make another quilt, of course!
Hmm. I think I like this one even better!
And now? They are in the pile to be backed and quilted. I notice that pile is not getting any smaller. Rats!

Lap quilts and wall hangings are so much more useful than full bed quilts which you can only use one at a time, whereas the small items you can throw over chairs or tables, or hang them up! (that's my way of thinking anyway)
I have made a few lap quilts and look forward o some big ones again, but I use thin wadding so we can use two quilts on each bed ... maybe more in mid winter in my home town. (Not quite as cold where we are now.)
I think I like your leftovers best too, but there are some nice looking blocks in the first.
