I finished the Plus a Star Block yesterday and will be going home from Mom's today...........
Now I have only 2 more big blocks and one small one to do plus whatever filler blocks are needed to match up all the blocks.
I have been collecting 5 inch charms for awhile and looking at different patterns for charm quilts and have never found something that "speaks" to me until I ran across several clamshell quilts all in one day! I decided that's what I will attempt to do with all my charms.....
I cut these templates which leave way more than a half inch seam so I may cut some larger ones before I start. I've always enjoyed stitching hexies so I am hoping this will be similar...........I brought them to Mom's thinking I might have time to stitch a few but stayed interested in LTG.....
There was still fabric left over from the leaf quilt we all made and I found a little time to make a throw pillow to match the quilt and pillow shams.................
