I usually make a scrappy version of Alycia's Mystery Quilts and Quilt Alongs.
I was thinking I would not participate this year because my patriotic prints are down to very small bits and pieces. However, I was looking around at some of my other options and now I think I have decided to actually make two quilts.
I gathered together some red, white and blue civil war reproduction scrap chunks for quilt number 1 and...
...for quilt number 2 I gathered together some shirtings, plaids and homespuns.
This week we made six 8 inch (finished) blue Sawtooth Stars on white.

Great job Cathy! They are going to be lovely!
I impressed! I haven't started -- although I think I will eventually.
Beautiful stars! I looked at my shirting boxes and contemplated using them so I will make a 2nd one using them. Thanks for the pictures.
I just caught up on your last four posts and my, have you been busy. I particularly like the Rick Rack blocks, although I'm trying not to start anything new, which must amuse you, since you always have so many blocks and projects in process. And on top of that you start your own seedlings for the garden. Now if some warmer weather would arrive, I might be able to think about spring, but we're going down to 9 degrees tonight again.
