Things were going so smoothly through the first two rounds. At that point I had two sides on my center square.
I held off adding the other two sides, waiting to see what the third round prompt would be. Anticipating it might be a block that I could add to the sides I decided to put the remaining strips of HSTs on the top and bottom to help the math work for a strip of 5- or 6-inch blocks.
Ehh, the look of flying geese just didn't do anything for me. So I ripped them off and put them where they were originally intended to go, adding background fabric cornerstones.
Stars is the prompt for round 3. My favorite star is the Ohio Star (Go Buckeyes!) but it's not an easy one to do at a small scale and I'm afraid a whole round of large blocks will overpower the rest of the project. I have a plan ... stick around and hopefully I'll have something to show soon.
But look at what else I found in a box of blue and brown scraps ...
... a SAHRR I started during Covid! I think it's time I finish it.
they are looking good!
ReplyDeleteOoooh I love them both!!
ReplyDeleteThese are looking good!!
ReplyDeleteIt's somewhat comforting to know that I am not the only one who sews an entire row/border and then decides to take it out. LOL. I look forward to seeing how you'll add stars (eventually) and whatever tomorrow's prompt brings.
ReplyDeleteI like the triangles going all the way around, Libby, and the way you have the opposite corners reflecting each other. I'll enjoy seeing what happens with your star idea, too. Have fun finishing up that older SAHRR!
