Ohio Star and a Quick Strippee

Two UFO projects are finished. Yay!!  


The Ohio Star quilt was an RSC project from last year, plus a couple of extra blocks made this year to make the quilt a bit larger.  Star blocks are my favorite kinds of blocks and you just can't beat the Ohio Star for simplicity.  This one is bright and happy.  A few "reversed" blocks are included where the star is white instead of the background.  Currently the plan is for this one to be gifted to a new graduate.  


The other finish this week was the Flamingo Quick Strippee.  This is the same pattern as the grey and pink version with sheep in the wide sections that I finished a couple of weeks ago.  I've actually made several of these as baby gifts over the last few years.  So fast and so simple.  It's another one of the free patterns from Mary Quilts.  Just check the menu on the right side of her blog.  


Both of these quilts used the same wide backing - that I've used on previous quilts.  It works great for any bright scrappy quilt.  It makes me think of fireworks but on a white background.  Watch for this fabric to appear again, because I just used it for a border on a table topper that is in the works.  

I'm linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge today:
