Crumb quilt - more stars

I made some more crumb blocks this week. Decided to try the Star blocks again.

Jo's great instructions are HERE  for stars & hearts.  After reviewing the 

instructions, samples, and looking at other quilters stars, I decided my problem 

was contrast; or lack of contrast. My husband calls them “Hidden Stars”.

First ones: 

This week: 

I was very please with how these stars finished. See the little corner fabric 

between the star points. I had a strip from another project, made from 2 strips 

(a 1½ ” & 2” sewn together). I cut the squares used for the star points from this 

and ended up with the peeking fabric.

 

Made a few other blocks. The extras will probably end up on the back. 

I am showing signs of addiction, (1)“Neglecting responsibilities”; my 

family ended up with pancakes and sausages for dinner since I had no 

time for grocery shopping. (2)”Lost control” and (3)"Built up a tolerance"; 

must make more crumb blocks then planned.
 

I have started to cut my sashing and plan to have a finished top Nov 16th. Will 

post my link at Jo's Country Junction. Maybe I will have my addiction under 

control. I need to start working on Christmas presents.
