This is a NOT finished kind of Friday, but I have moved forward a little on a couple of projects that are on my November goal list.
I can check off the Garden of Stars BOM for November. We only need to make 1 paper-pieced star block each month, so this is pretty manageable. There are also 13 alternating blocks, and I have 6 of those done so far.
Then there are some 6.5" blocks that will also become spools this month. The cutting of the strips needed was definitely the most time consuming part of this task.
Another thing to check off my goal list for the month is donation quilt tops. I have way too many flimsies hanging in the closet, waiting to be quilted. So I've chosen 4 of them to donate to a good charity group that will finish them to distribute, and the box is now packed to mail. These are all small to medium sizes. The 2 Windmill tops are 45 x 54. The Desert Horses (top left) is 40 x 46. And the Woven Hearts top on the right is 60" square.

Love your Garden of Stars. Bravo for keeping up with all these BOM and sew-along. ;^)
Moving forward on projects is good and donations are great too!
Your Garden of Stars blocks are stunning! Beautiful!
"Projects underway" is a fine alternative to "finished" for Friday, if not as alliterative. Good for you to send some flimsies off to a good new home.
I'm planning to cut the strips for the Marigold mystery this weekend. I'm wondering if that is all the cutting for that fabric? I like the depth the navy accent provides to your spools.
ah, the Garden of Stars project looks like a Carol Doak creation. Love the fabric choices, Sara.
Sounds like a great week!! That was so nice of you to choose 4 quilts to pass on to be loved! Very sweet quilts. That Garden Stars is just Beautiful
Your Star blocks are just gorgeous laying out together! The spools are going to be really pretty. Four tops getting mailed will help you have a bit more room in the closet;) What group are you sending them to? I have been thinking if I get a bunch made up next year I might send some tops off instead of paying for battting. Have you ever used Pirate Ship to buy your shipping and print your own label, it's cheaper than USPS.
Those stars are just gorgeous, Sara! They're going to make an amazing quilt. It's nice to find a group that will take unfinished quilt tops and finish them for donation. I've found one of those here, and I could probably take some more things to them!
all nice projects but those stars eclipse them all...gorgeous
You are working on some really nice projects, Sara. The Garden Stars blocks are so pretty. Love your other blocks too. I'm sure it feels good getting four unfinished quilts out the door.
those first blocks you show are beautiful I love the colors
I'm amazed at your Garden of Stars blocks!!!! Stunning!
You are doing great at keeping up with your Garden of Stars and the blocks look lovely together. I know I already mentioned it but I love your focus fabric…..it is a wonderful color palette for these blocks 😀
Your Garden of Stars blocks are gorgeous. That is going to be such a fun finish. I like how your spools worked out. I'm second guessing my fabric choices, so I may play a bit before I finish a spool block. Getting quilts out so that they can be finished is a good strategy. I didn't do as well as I planned on donation quilts, but hopefully I get better at that next year.
Those Garden Stars are just gorgeous!!
