Remember these little 6″ blocks? They’ve been languishing on my sewing table, waiting to be turned into a small quilt. I was looking at them last night and thought I had decided on a setting that will require only two more blocks. That is, I thought I had until I noticed the secondary star pattern they create when put together this way when I looked at the photo. That may change my setting idea.
Here are the pieces for one of the two remaining blocks, ready to be stitched together. With any luck, I might get the remaining two blocks done this weekend and may even get a start at putting the little top together.
One of my goals is to do a series of two-colour quilts. So far, all those that I’ve done have been lap size or larger. The little red and white one will be the first small two-colour quilt, but I’m now thinking that a whole series of two-colour little quilts might be fun.
Baxter caught sight of the pieces for the little red and white block and this was his reaction. He really loves to get a piece of fabric and march around with it in his mouth so I could almost imagine him thinking, “Yum, fabric bits!”

That’s a great block pattern….and the secondary star pattern is a bonus. Baxter has a very long tongue!

I like the layout of these blocks. Looks like you don’t need to finish the other two. Although they would be a great part of a pieced back! Baxter is too funny!

Kricket insists on commenting on how tall Baxter looks. She has herself a good old fashion crush. I think its the birthday sharing thing.

that’s what I love about a design wall. You put the blocks up and all of a sudden you are seeing something else. I know your blocks are tiny so you don’t need a wall. I love the red and white and yes a series of little 2 color quilts is a great idea.

You can’t go wrong with two color quilts! That will be awesome!
But now I have to comment on something that I have noticed…you are always saying “with any luck”……..but I think it really means “I can do this and get this done, but instead of “with any luck”, it really means “unless I get distracted and start working on another unfinished project”….am I right? 🙂
Perhaps Baxter needs a litttle piece or large piece of leather to chew on!
