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.

  5. 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!

  10. 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.
