Little Stars Shine!

Ever onward with the Unity quilt! The big dahlia quilt sandwich has no progress  - it's just sitting in the corner waiting on me to get back to it. And it's going to have to sit there a bit longer. I was behind in keeping up with the Unity quilt parts so my free time focus has been stitching pieces into parts. 

These parts become stars. All except for one block, that is. One of these is NOT like the others! 

It was the second to last one I stitched up. Thankfully! Happily, it was only one block that had to be unsewn. 
Love these small little shining stars! And the stars joined together into orderly rows.
Couple of slightly wonky edges but those will be hidden in the seams. And the rows where attached to the quilt center.

Getting there!

How Could it be Thursday Already?

Time seems to have a mind of it's own these days and it's making me a bit nuts. I mean, Thursday already - How?? I've been trying to write this post since Monday and it's now Thursday?
Time Warp. It must be some kind of Time Warp. 
Anyway, on to some PROGRESS!!

This 

Became this.

I LOVE the turquoise stop border!  But I have a confession. It was a design choice made in part because I am short on the cream fabric. I was using one constant fabric per color in this quilt. That may change. 
Soon. 
Okay, so it did already but you're going to have to wait to see what happened.  

Now, you may be saying, "That's It??? She sewed on four narrow strips with cornerstones & we're supposed to be excited?" I know that may not seem like much but I've spent a bit of time cutting pieces and drawing diagonal line behind the scenes and no, there aren't any interesting pictures of that to share. Trust me. They don't exist.

But I will share what I did with some of those new pieces.
More coming!
