I finished my Wonky Wishes star blocks!
I’m more than pumped about that, but I am unable to go any further until I decide what to do as far as sashings go, and I don’t have stash at the cabin so I had to switch gears.
I figure the Wonky Wishes blocks can percolate for a while before the RIGHT idea falls into place.
Once that was boxed up I had a choice….Either I could go back to trimming bonus triangles ((Do I *HAVE* to?!?)) Or I could start laying out my Split 9-Patch Leader & Ender challenge and see how far it’s come.
I’ve been building them while working on the Wonky Wishes blocks, and other projects like Boxy Stars while up at the cabin….and the stack has grown!
I wasn’t sure how much until I counted the pinned stacks of 10 – I’ve got 121 blocks so far!
131 blocks on the floor!
The landing up above the living room in the cabin makes a great vantage point for looking at quilt layouts. It really helps with perspective.
I see one block turned wrong…can you find it?

120 blocks laid out 10 across by 12 down gives me a quilt center that measures 60” X 72”. I think I want to go bigger than this – there are more 2.5” squares to use up, and I make quilts to cover people –so I’m thinking setting it 12 X 14 for a total of 168 blocks. That means I still have 37 blocks to go!
Bottom corner..do you see the wrong block now??
Center…Very blendy but fun!
There is a whole life time of scraps being used up here…I believe the earliest piece goes back to the 1970s, but there are scads of 1980s and 1990s and early 2000s fabrics in here as well as batiks and recycled fabrics and novelties.
47 more blocks huh?? Better get crackin!
If you have missed this Leader & Ender Challenge, you can find more info about it HERE. There is no set number of blocks you need to make. You can come up with your own setting. There are no rules…just make the blocks as Leaders & Enders in between what you are already working on and let them pile up. Pretty soon you have enough for a whole quilt.
Don’t forget about or Last Mystery Link-Up for Celtic Solstice starting tomorrow. We will leave it up for a week – so you can enter your link until Saturday, Feb 8th at 11:55pm EASTERN Time. Don’t wait til the last minute, West Coast people….you may miss it!
We’ve been invited to the “sort of across the street” neighbor’s cabin for movie night! Nice folks – you probably have seen their green tin roof quite often in the photos I post from the front porch of our cabin. n They are also part timers up here, so it’s hit and miss. I was thrilled when they popped by this afternoon to ask us over.
Have a great Evening, everyone!
