It's a finish!
String Star
40 x 40
I started this in December 2025. Someone gave me the 12 gray floral half triangles. I decided to use them as half a string block and pulled strings from my string bin that were the colors in the gray florals. I used a newspaper foundation. I decided on a String Star layout. I made four all string blocks for the star center. Top was completed in January.
I quilted it on my sewing machine with swirls of gray.
The back and binding.
And now it is ready to give a child a hug.
And sew on...

The weather has been so weird this year and I'm behind in gardening tasks. I haven't even cleaned up my asparagus patch yet and noticed I had asparagus to harvest. In fact, some was already overgrown. I had aspragus for dinner the other night and again last night.
I like it sprinkled with olive oil and kosher salt and then roasted in a 425 degree oven for 10 minutes. Tonight with the leftovers I think I will make an asparagus fritatta. Since hubby gets his food, a formula via G-tube, and since I don't like asparagus frozen or canned it looks like I will be giving away asparagus soon. I'm sure there is more out there for harvest today.

I finished a book! It is the first book in William Kent Kruger's Cork O'Connor Mystery series - Iron Lake. I started on the second book of the series. I think there are 20+ books in the series so I will continue to read whatever is available with the Kindle Unlimited subscription. I enjoy WWII historical fiction but need to read something a little lighter for a while.

What a beautiful finish! The strings look great on that gray background. The backing is beautiful. Wow, that's a nice harvest of asparagus. I'm like you, I only like it fresh, but there's only so much you can eat by yourself!
