They were cut in the hopes of reducing my ever growing stash, with the plan to join the Sparkle Punch quiltalong by Oh Fransson! In starting this, I didn't do any planning and just assumed that the large piece of background fabric I had (actually two pieces) would be plenty, and started stitching away. This is what I ended up with at the end of cutting:
Then I realized I was short 13 squares--after cutting this up. (I was making mine a tad bigger than the directions.) I had trimmed pieces leftover from each strip--not the correct size, but just big enough to "tweak" and make them work if I crossed my fingers while sewing them. And so the pieces are now this:
(Please forgive the moving quilt--it was breezy, but I had to take the photo in between the rain episodes). Here's an indoor shot so you can see the fabrics a bit better. (Any name suggestions would be appreciated.)
and a close up of my favorite blocks:
I've a few other things I've been working on to show you, but this will have to do for now, as I'm off to pick up some new medication for a very special old furry friend of mine who hasn't been herself lately--hope it helps!
And be sure to hop over to Stitched in Color and enjoy all the gorgeous scrap quilts in the Festival of Scrapiness!

Thanks for adding your Sparkle Punch quilt. These look like great scrapbusters.
Fabulous scrap quilt!
I love this quilt. Great colors and a terrific use of scraps. I'm sitting here trying to figure out how you put it together!
Wow!! I love your sparkle stars!!! It really does sparkle!! Have you thought of a name yet? These may be a little cliche but how about "Oh my stars!!" or "Super Stars". I hope your dog is feeling better.
Absolutely gorgeous sparkling going on here Donna!! I love your stars. I hope your furry friend feels better very soon. xo
Hey, your Sparkle Berry sure looks neat. :) How is your gorgeous fur friend doing? I hope the medicine worked for her. I have to say, my old cat is my very best friend. It disturbs me that I can't get more relief for his arthritis.

Love your stars!!!
