The summer continues to fly by. I have sewn a few little stars here and there and tucked them away in this tin. Right now it is sharing space with my leader/ender project of unbalanced 9 patches. I'm over halfway with the 9 patches but not even 1/10th the way with these handpieced stars... 365 stars is A LOT!
One day this tin will be full with just stars - right? Today there are 31.It seemed like a fun idea to play with setting fabric colors. The Star a Day pattern has you put the stars together with a neutral for the alternate squares. I think I want more color.
Here's pink.
And green.
I kinda like this green :0)
I will keep making stars for awhile before I decide. I will try lots more options I'm sure.
Last week I biked from Canmore to Banff in the mountains with my oldest (taking the picture) and youngest daughters. It was such a gorgeous day!
I thought I'd sew some stars when we took breaks from cycling but I was too busy enjoying the view.
Happy Quilting!

Love the green Janet - especially as it has a faint stripe in there!
What a great spot to bicycle :)
Your stars are shining brightly. Those cute little stars are a huge undertaking. Keep going.
You baked up some little LeMoyne Star blocks! The baking pans make for good work storage while you are making a quilt.
I saw a finished quilt of these little stars earlier this year, it is a gorgeous quilt. Great project and I reLly like that green stripe also.
Yikes! I love the pink, but I have to say that green fabric is sensational! No help here, I love them both.
what a gorgeous bike ride for you and your daughters.
I really like the stars - both the green and the pink. I'm a pinky girl :)
glad to hear your having a fun summer
Such a wonderful project and I love both the pink and green with your stars. Looks like you had a fantastic day with your daughter.
This is a lovely project and both the pink and green look great with your stars.
I love your little star blocks. I was lucky to have received a doll quilt in an exchange made up of these little blocks. I like how the green background makes the colors of the stars pop. Hugs
What about alternating pink and green, that's a classic one.
Love your stars.
Nice to see you are having a good summer.
The green is wonderful.
