SEEING STARS

                            Here is my collection of Maverick Stars....so far--

I've decided to use up my 2.5" squares from my 3-years-ago (!!) swap...
at  "The Curious Quilter" 's blog...............
(she no longer is doing this world wide swap...;((( )

I have a lot of Autumnal golds so every other row will have gold squares until they run out...
After I put together each one, I set up the next and decide on star points fabric...most of the points are 2.5" metallic squares cut diagonally in half...
(see tree, blue door, and wheat sheaves blocks above) 
so...because the triangles are so small they become  far away stars--with little 
twinkling points....
                              "...far away over the stellar sea..."..
AND...the centers are all cut from a scenic country cotton....that I have fussy cut...

I (as you who have followed me know) don't do triangles...so this is such fun for me to just
use the folded corners method.  This will be another long term ongoing project for
fun sewing...
***********************************************************
along with my Ojos Di Dios strip blocks...

On these Ojos, I am running out of deep maroon scraps so, I've emptied my pink 
leftover strips to move the colors to lighter blocks...we'll see how they look...I'll make a couple to try them out...today I was able to take 15 minutes and cut more 6" bases
for these--but decided no more cutting for another while...to let my shoulders rest
up really well....
hugs for a wonderful upcoming weekend with cooler temps (YAY)

STASH DEPLETION

                Here is where my Log Cabin Loonies  project stands so far...

Next round for JulieK's project will be darks...I hope to add these this week...
Drop in for a visit to see everyone's lovely interpretation ....

[Our AC is acting up (oh no--in a heat wave, of course!!) --it works for a while and then doesn't
come on...maybe it's tired? I wouldn't be surprised as I think it has been on continuously all Summer
long..so a "HELP" call will be going in to our guy....]

................................anyway, there are 20 of these little gems in progress..

this little block looks like a snowstorm to me....
******************************************************
.I am hoping that this WIP and this one below:

                       will begin to deplete my stash of blue and dark red/maroon strips...
                          But it seems the more I use, the more show up overnight.  ;000
*******************************************************

AND THEN...there's this kerfoffle to work on:

                         Fabric fabric everywhere, and how my shelves did shrink...lol
  {to misquote The Rime of the Ancient Mariner into the Rime of the Ancient Sewist....}

What a total mess...at one time all fabrics were folded neatly and arranged by hot and cold
colors...not so much anymore, ya think?

If my "Ancient" limbs will allow I need to get down in there and re-sort and re-
arrange...so far, I look at it, and then close the doors...(bad girl). 

Stay cool,

SCRAPPY SATURDAY

Working my scrappy blocks with the maroons leftover from "Free the Wild Horses";
and blues from my "Stars" wall hanging.....

You can see my orts from those two quilts laid out here by color......................


**************************************AND*****************************

Here is my salute to Autumn --
all from 2.5" squares and scraps; 
and  I am using one fabric
of Summer's Bounty for the centers...

I've been wanting to try out this "Maverick Star"  block for a long time....
This will be a long term leader-ender project...

I love this red door.............
and

Pumpkins ripening....


****************************************AND**************************

Look at this lovely mug rug that DAWN sent me--a surprise happy mailing....
thank you Dawn, you are so thoughtful...I love it!
And the reverse:

Really really cute...

*******************************************AND******************** (G A S P E R S!!)
                         [File under "Squirrel" ...yup, totally enchanted....]

I am cutting 1" centers and strips to join in with the "Log Cabin Loonies" making this 4" finished (;ooo) log cabin block 
(I must have lost my mind somewhere today--but I will give it a whirl...)
...at:
                                    Another Julie ;))) 's blog...(click to find her)

go and check out her "teeney" tiny gorgeous piece....

(As you can see I am still using the same colors that are more orts from my Ojo di Dios
works above...)  
AND, (sighing here) I am a little (well, actually, a lot!) concerned about the seam allowance thing...I figure it will be a "near thing--so I cut out extra centers 
(for my friend "Just-in-Case)hahaha

(Wish me luck, fingers crossed, feet first, jumping in at the deep end...etc etc 😓 )
