It's a top!
45 x 63
Not sure if it is a top made of Hourglass or Big Dipper or Yankee Puzzle blocks. It's a star so I will settle on Big Dipper.
I have been trying to use up a small box of 4 inch width scraps and squares. One of the blocks I have been making using those scraps is Yankee Puzzle using the tutorial at Suzy's Scraps. But note that I used 4 inch instead of 3.5 inch squares.
I also have larger version in the works with blocks of a color and a neutral. Maybe after that top is finished my 4 inch width scrap bin will be empty.
And sew on...

I finished a book- The Lost Story of Sofia Costello by Siobhan. It was classified as WWII historical fiction but I would consider it more of a love story.
My husband John celebrated living three quarters of a century yesterday. I couldn't let him eat cake because they don't make liquid birthday cake for G-tubes for some strange reason.
Cooler and drier weather has made it to my neck of the woods so I've been out trying to pull out all the weeds that took advantage of all that nasty weather and are now strangling some of my favorite flowers that the deer have not eaten or the raccoons have not dug up. Cooler weather also means I am able to get back to some hand quilting in the evening.
And so it goes...

What's in a name? Whatever they call this block, you turned it into a wonderful, colourful quilt. Bravo! I'm taking up some hand quilting in the evening too ... and baking. The boys are hungry for some homemade cooking and baking. Too bad John couldn't have a piece of cake. Happy belated birthday, John! Enjoy the outdoors! ;^)
Great flimsy! Congrats to John on another trip around the sun :-)
Big Dipper is indeed a star! Happy Birthday (belated) to your hubby. That milestone is getting closer for both of us but DH will get to claim it a year before I do.
Lovely finish Cathy--You continue to amaze me with your productivity:))) Happy Birthday (belated) to your dear hubby;)))
Hugs for both of you Julierose
I passed the three-quarter century mark two years ago. Gosh, that sound old. Happy Birthday, John.
