It's back to stars this week - seems hard to stay away from them lately. The Official Cookie Tester really liked the table toppers that I made for the bazaar and has requested one for our table, so I'm striking while the iron is hot.
Maybe it wasn't hot enough. I was obviously on another planet when I started trimming the pieces with the points...really, what was I thinking?
This is what it should look like.
This time around I laid all of the blocks out before I started sewing so that I could get a sense of fabric placement. The first two that I made I had just made it up as I went. This was faster and more organized, at least until I started trimming :).
Seemingly in spite of myself I have managed to get everything together and ready to quilt.
I'm happy that I've found a project to use that mitten fabric in. I've had it for a couple of years now but never seemed to be working on the right project to use it....M

Another beauty, Marie! What size squares are you using?

Love your little felt ornaments too.
Happy sewing
Marie: looking swell, a great combo of reds and greens, gets you in the Christmas spirit doesn't it. Working on a stocking for Logan right now and enjoying the Christmas-y feeling. xo
I'm happy you found a place for your mitten fabric. They are lovely table toppers.
