I finished make the 110 exquisite star blocks and sorted them by colors. I had made 55 each of light and dark backgrounds. I wasn't sure I wanted to crawl around on the floor to arrange and rearrange them so
I gathered 110 - 2" squares of similar colors and lated them out on my cutting mat.
Then I transferred the pattern to the rows as I played them on the floor in my sewing room.
I had just enough room to lay out four rows at a time. Sew them and do four more rows.
Rows 5 through 8.
It's pretty colorful - Exquisite Star X.
90 by 99". I'm pretty sure I've never made any other pattern as much as this one
and I never tire of it.
My CMW blocks for June and July - this is the beginning of the outer rows of tall buildings.
I must say again that the shot cottons that they recommended ravel terribly. I'm trying to be very careful with them but just removing them from the freezer paper patterns is sketchy!
The aftermath of all that paper piecing and trimming.

We are back to meeting in the ZUMC Fellowship Hall for our Undercover Bee!
Hurrah! - We had a great turnout last Saturday and even two new members.
I had my little crosses quilt - with binding on.
And my last pandemic patriotic panel quilt also with the binding finished!

Enjoyed celebrating my 82nd with a train trip to Charlotte with the girls.
And a visit to the Van Gogh Exhibit among other things.
