The first 3 rows of Shooting Stars are made, and I have a good start on the fourth row.
I mentioned that these blocks have an interesting assembly technique. Looking at the photo on the pattern, I assumed the star block was made with a 4-patch and flying geese. But then I was confused because the fabric included with the pattern had been a jelly roll. How was that going to work?
I'm happy to report that the jelly roll works perfectly - because there are NO flying geese and NO 4-patches in this block.
This block was made using squares and half square triangles - plus a stitch and flip corner on that rectangle. Very slick process!!
And the green diagonal section in the other block also had a unique process - 2 background pieces sewn on the side of the strip, then squared up on-point. This is turning into a fun project, and possibly one I will repeat another time with scraps or strips.
It's Monday, so what happening on your design wall?

I can see how you thought there would be flying geese and 4 patches for this block. You are moving right along on this one. How big will it be?
Just as there are more ways to skin a cat -- there are more ways to piece a block!
How clever! This is going to be a pretty quilt.
great design!
