A Quick Hello

I have been doing lots of this...




and spending time with my favourite machine making these together...


I moved each of those little suckers all over my design wall about a billion times...well, it felt like a billion...and then happily settled on this arrangement.


Though I did decide to add these in the corners...


These tiny triangles are very reminiscent of the original star quilt. I like the way the diamonds make each block stand out for themselves, rather than blend in as a background.

I am off to Hawaii tomorrow (woohoo!!!) and besides the sewing above, I have been busy busy busy packing and gardening (I didn't want to leave the blueberries for the birds to eat!!!).

Check back in with you all in a week! Hope you all have a good one.

    Love those bright stars on the low-volume background. They are looking good! Your palette is so appealingly late-summer.

    Lovely stars! A design wall is wonderful but does prompt lots of fiddling, standing back and more fiddling!
