The scrappy star is still growing. With this latest round of diamonds it’s now almost 32″. Each round is taking longer to add, but I’m determined to get it to around 45″. Then I’ll add some elements to turn it into a rectangular quilt that can be used as a lap quilt. At least that’s the current plan.
It’s also taking longer to press after each round.
Baxter was determined to get in the picture.
Earlier in the day he was watching squirrels playing in the trees out on the roof garden. I think he looks like he’s smiling.

This is great Cathi, I’ve been wondering about it lately. I can see lots of options & as soon as I narrow them down I may get going.

Baxter’s just measuring the star to make sure it’s going to be large enough for him to spread out on when it’s done. He’s claiming it!
