Movin' right along...
Finally got all 200 some qst and hst all trimmed up to 3.5". quite an accomplishment. Now I am putting them together to make 32 stars in red and green. There are places where I have 8 points coming together...theoretically. I try, anyway. All in good fun. It's like making a doily. Sure the doily is nice, but it's just a bonus. It's about the journey to the doily, ya know. The process is what I love, even more than the finished quilt. I love the sewing and the coming together of color and pattern. I even like the pressing, making it all smooth and seeing if I can't make some of those points come out better!
It's a drab day, today. Snow is all gone and a cold front is upon us. We'll be staying home from the holiday and I wonder if we can get any family or friends to come and share our turkeys. Yes, we have two- I love the leftovers, don't you?

    I sure know what ya mean about the process being the main thing! I have trouble finishing any project, not just quilting, "cause it's the process that I love more than the finished thing.

    We are without snow so far so it may not be a white Christmas when the family comes up here to share our ham & our turkey. Thanksgiving will be by ourselves this time so we may celebrate on Monday or Tuesday or whatever day we are feeling especially thankful.*big smile*

    I see you have a new photo. I like it, although I enjoyed the pretty scarf, too.

    Let's see how long would it take me to get to your house, hmmmm! LOL I would love to come visit you, we could crochet, laugh, quilt, laugh, etc. Oh, the fun we could have. *sigh*

    Anyway, I love the way this new project is shaping up. Makes me want to jump into my scrap bin and start making stars!
