I thought I'd better get a quick post in today because for some of my kids spring break starts
tomorrow. Days get busy but there is always time for a few stitches in the evening :0)
I've been working (playing) pretty steadily with these 36 patch blocks. I have so many neutrals to choose and cut I've enjoyed this very much. As soon as I had 4 blocks made I changed my mind about the setting and I think I will just set these blocks side by side like shown. It will use less of the 36 patches than my other plan but I think I like this end result better.
This Lemoyne star is for another project - a guild challenge that I can't show much of yet. I want to make several stars like this one to put together with the challenge blocks in the final top. This star is 6 inches finished and was it ever easy to piece by machine after all of those hand pieced 3 inch star-a-day stars.
Happy Quilting!!

I love the setting of the patch blocks! And I like the colours in the star too!
Perfect piecing on that gorgeous 6" star! Do you do it in pairs, or go around in a circle, or half and half?? Would love to know your method.
Delicious! I particularly love those colors in the star block. I could eat it up!
Wow. It's wonderful to see your 36 patches set out - they're practically a top! :)
I was just thinking that the 6" LeMoyne star would be a piece of cake compared to the 3" ones. I love the look of the 36 patch side by side. Enjoy your spring break.
the Lemoyne star is so sweet. I love it on the blue background - really makes it sparkle.
Are you hand piecing it?
Your scrappy blocks are just wonderful!
have a nice spring break with the kids
Janet, that is so pretty - The red flying geese make it look so nice. I really love good scrappy quilts like this. And that LeMoyne block! So pretty with that blue backgroudn!
Good quilt block design in your quilt to use up a bunch of little squares. Or did you cut the squares from yardage?
Love all the blocks....beautiful fabrics and my favourite-scrappy
Wow, love the blue setting for the colorful star.
More beautiful quilts in the works!
