stash stars: update

Regular program has been resumed ... and I'm back making more stars.
There’s a simple formula for my stars made from my stash. They are 12 1/2" Ohio Star blocks, all with a "lacy-like" background fabric and blending or contrast solids if I can. 

Here's a few progress photos of my lace & stars WiP, 
(wink wink) I may have gotten a little snap happy!











After some trial & error, sashing & cornerstones have been figured out.
My cornerstones are from a much-loved pastel rainbow silky plaid, ✂️first time I've used it anywhere.

And ... all quilts need a bit of black & white stripe, yes?















Linking up with Kelly for NTT here
Until next time, Linda

  7. I love how your black and white stripe makes your other fabrics sparkle and zing, just like seasoning adds flavor to a recipe. Beautiful!
