Saturday turned out to be a non-sewing day. I attended the monthly quilt guild meeting in the morning where the Show n Tell was amazing. As always! Guild was followed by grocery shopping and my list was long. In the afternoon I ended up working on a puzzle while the laundry was running instead of going downstairs to sew.
But . . . I did lay out the Twinkler blocks. And I also discovered that the extra 2 blocks I sewed last week to bring the total to 30 - not needed because I already had 30. There were 2 of them in the bottom of the project box, hiding out. So, now there are 2 orphan blocks. Sigh! The final block arrangement needs a bit of tweaking but I plan to start sewing blocks together into rows today. This will be the first of several blue UFO projects I plan to work on to meet some Rainbow Scrap Challenge goals I've set.
Blue is the RSC color for February, so that means I'll add some blocks for a new Quilt of Valor that I've been planning. So far, I've made 10 Buckeye Beauty blocks from the QOV "leftover bin" currently taking up way too much space. More are cut out, and I've made a little stack of fabric options for more of them. At guild on Saturday I was handed a big bag of lovely donation fabrics for QOV. I need to sew faster!!
There will be other things showing up this week in the sewing room I'm sure, but these need to be my main focus. It's more than enough to keep me busy.

ARGH! I have made too many blocks for the same reason. Drives me crazy! The twinkler blocks look terrific. Your SAHRR looks like a lot of fun. Looks like you are keeping up with a lot of projects. Have a productive week!
Love the Twinkler blocks and your QOV blocks - both sets will make gorgeous quilts.
You could add more twinklers and have yourself a table runner, or use them for a start of a RWB QOV quilt;) Always fun to work with RWB and you do a great job on the QOV's.
You could piece the two twinklers into the back. The Circle of Friends block looks challenging! I like the addition to your SAHRR.
I really like the Twinkler blocks. I'm sure you'll find a good use for the extras. Also, your colorful pineapples make me smile.
Your QOV blocks look great, so many pretty projects!
It's so hard to keep up with block counts. You've got some great projects in the works.
The stars look great--what about slipping the two extra blocks into the backing? I love doing this as I hate having orphan blocks, and having a little "extra" on the back is always fun. Love that pineapple too!!
Love the Buckeye Beauty blocks and I agree with Cheree, I'd add those extra's to the backing. It looks really cool IMHO. Your twinkler blocks are beautiful and the Riley Black challenge block is gorgeous. I really love what you did with the HST prompts in your SAHRR. Looking good! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings!
