Twinklers
60 x 78
I've been making these blocks, a few a month, for a couple of years as a Rainbow Scrap Challenge Project. I used 2.5 inch scraps. That's 1170 - 2.5 inch squares of scraps!!!
These were randomly arranged. There's no design wall here. (Grandma didn't have one either and she's the one that inspired me to quilt).
In the process I noticed I was a little heavy on blue and brown blocks.
I hope to get this completely finished this month. I'll be quilting it on my DSM.

love your stars! such scrappy goodness
I love this top, so bright and cheerful. Design walls are great, but most are nowhere near large enough to lay out a big quilt anyway. Grandma used her bed or the floor to lay out her quilts, and we can too!
what a great quilt top! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck on your project.
It doesn't seem to heavy on any particular color to me. Just a fabulous collection of color and happiness!
SEW many wonderful scraps used in this quilt top!! Best of luck with the finishing process.
Good for you sticking with the project and getting it done! Loads of scraps used;-)
I love this quilt top!! Beautifully scrappy!!
What a happy quilt! Enjoy your twinkly quilting!
This is one of the things I love most about the rainbow scrap challenge - we make a few blocks a month and then suddenly there are enough for a quilt. It's almost like magic!
It's gorgeous!!
Another stellar (pun intended) finish! You go girl!, I love your Twinkler/friendship stars. And your wonderful Triangle Stars too. Next year I'll be doing a friendship star variation with my 2.5" scraps thanks to your influence. Cathy, do you ever sleep?
I am amazed at at how much you get done. I do well with the rainbow blocks until the garden work begins, but then I do make a lot of smaller quilts for our teams from church to take to Haiti.
Those are great blocks for the rainbiw scrap challenge! I'm going to put them on my list! They look like a great way to use up smaller squares.
A wonderful rainbow finish. Love 9-patches and the twinkling all over the place. You could look at it for weeks.
What a fun quilt! Congrats on your finish for your RSC!
Congratulations, great stars, love the colors.
love love love all your quilts and those flamingo pillowcases....gorgeous!
I think the blue and brown blocks help to ground this wild ride of a quilt! I love it!
Another beauty! Love all the color in this one.
This quilt is pretty too! I love the scrappiness of it and again I love the colors!
What a great use of scraps. This quilt is gorgeous.
Such scrappy goodness! Hope you meet your goal this busy month.
Very fun and pretty.
Fantastic -- so scrappy and so very wonderful!!!
So lovely!
Its wonderful!! My bucket list keep getting longer.
Beautiful scrappy stars
What a lovely quilt Cathy. Congrats on getting all those little blocks into a top. Love it.
I find it interesting that you can place your blocks randomly but come up with something that looks so balanced and deliberate. Maybe it's a question of getting the right mix of blocks before you start? However you do it, the end result is very lovely.
Bright and joyous!
