Turning Economy Blocks Into Stars



A few years ago I made over 300 three inch Economy Blocks from scraps as a Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) project. Now I'm making several different quilts using those Economy Blocks. 

For this quilt I used mostly the floral Economy Blocks and I'm using more scraps to turn them into Stars.

OOOOh - what a great way to transform those economy blocks! Usually I like high contrast best, but I really do like those blocks using the black with the blue. Striking!

Great stars. They look so fancy with the center "on point".

Happy stitching :-)

Mari said...

Wow! Great way to repurpose those economy blocks. They look great, and with so many to choose from I'm sure it will be fun to pick out new ones for block centers. Great project!

Very good way to use your stash of Economy blocks. They make great centres for your stars.

Economy stars! With 300 of those little blocks to deal with, I wonder what other ideas you will come up with.

Pretty blues! Great idea to turn the economy blocks into star blocks. So pretty!

Effective way to change up the stars by matching the points to the outside of Economies… or not. It’s unique and interesting. Great job again.
