Making some stars

Trimming Ohio Stars

In the morning light, I trimmed.

The quarter square triangle units just glow. Oakshott Lipari shot cottons with Essex linen in light grey.

So shiny.

One more picture while the sun was up.

Later I finished sewing. These Ohio stars finish at 3" square.

I need more green ones, but it is late now. I will put them in the sun in the morning and take more pictures. And make more green ones, and then make them into something nice.

I worked hard this week and the lurgy is lurking again so I am taking it easy in the hopes of fighting it off. There were naps and healthy food in between star making. And tea.

I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Best,

Leanne

    I love these tiny stars! Are you just using 1.5" squares to get the 3" finish?

    These are so, so beautiful. I'm amazed that you can get such perfect, tiny hourglass blocks. Amazing.
