sidetracked, again!

My recent tidy-up of scraps +stash has offered up a sprawl of possibilities, 

I bet your stash does too.

One good thing about a sort out is sometimes you find something you think you lost!
I knew I had a small basket of older vintage-y fabric somewhere, such a nice surprise to finally find it again. I had signed up for a 10" squares fabric pack, one a month, for nearly a year, many years ago. Occasionally there were fabrics I wouldn't have chosen but, as you know, I have a soft spot for scrappy.

If you’re anything like me, you’d get sidetracked by something you found too, yes? Initially I just started by pulling out some other fabrics that could possibly work, contemporary larger rosy florals teamed up with the older itty-bitty prints. I was going with a colourful mix & match scrappy vibe. 

I decided to incorporate them into a star quilt.

Fast forward to now and my sewing machine is back home, and I was able to just jump straight in.

Stars are a real favourite of mine✨. I just love them. They’re such a fun make, with so many opportunities to play around with colours, prints and shapes.

I'm also planning on combining my stars - inspo from @stitchesfoulweather. Lots of sawtooth stars mixed in with a few wheel of fortune blocks, both have the same sized center squares which appeals to me.

 

Enjoy the progress photos ...

Five #sawtoothstar blocks so far

This 2nd block is called the #wheeloffortuneblock - tutorial can be found at @fabric406 

Yes, I like where this is going💕
