One goal for this week was getting the 4th block made for Garden Stars. Monday I got that 4th block made finally. I'll need 12 total to alternate with the monthly star blocks, but if I make 1 or 2 each month along with the 1 star I should have no problem keeping up with this Carol Doak sew-along.this year.
The binding is finish on a couple of RWB placemats for donation. The one on the right was made mostly with strips I discovered in a bag of scraps given to me. The one on the right was made using that Mardi Gras block I've been making for RSC. It didn't take more than an hour to make 6 of the blocks, and then turn them into the placemat, including the quilting.
This doll quilt is finished too. Since it just needed binding it was a quick finish. The NASA fabric was all that was left from what I bought for pillowcases. It will join the little group of "critters in quilts" for donation.
Monday I also worked on the Dresden Plates for Saturday Sampler, and the patriotic mini quilt kit that has been tempting me. It does help when I can get a bunch of things cut and arranged onto the design boards so that I'm ready to just sit down and sew.

Those blocks for Garden Stars are just beautiful. You've done a great job with the paper piecing. Happy stitching this week, you definitely have some fun things to work on.
Garden Stars is shaping up beautifully! The placemats look great! A friend was just reminding me that we need to make some more quilts with Teddies for donation....
