Then I realized I used this cream star print on some liberated stars with homespun, so I dug out the bag to put the scraps together. First mistake was to tip the bag out on to the cutting table.
Then I started looking at what blocks I had already made from this bag of scraps. I've made 2 quilts from this stack of homespun fabric, but both have been given away and this bag of scraps is my last chance to have one for myself.
Once I realized I had big chunks of fabric in the bag, and the iron was hot from pressing the backing, well, I got to working on this.
There was a zip lock bag with parts and pieces already cut. I couldn't resist whipping up one of these cute little 4 1/2" star blocks.
Along the way I was separating the bits of red.
Pressed them and cut up that remaining cream star print into squares.
Too frugal to cut into those big chunks that I just ironed so I pieced the center square.
All neatly pressed and threads cleaned out from the seams.
And added this 12 1/2" block to my collage of stars.
No wonder I didn't get the vacuuming done!
Keep stitching ,

Scrap happiness! :-)
The vacuuming can wait! A creative moment(s) cannot! LOL
But look what you accomplished...love those itty bittys.
Your post made me smile today. I think we could all picture ourselves. Wonderful stars.
It's called Quilters ADD! How could you NOT stop and make those adorable stars. Such fun!
Oh, this was fun. Can't we all relate to how easily we get distracted and one thing leads to another?
Love those homespun free-form stars!
Yes, I call it the "creative flea syndrome". You can jump from one project to another very easily!
Isn't it funny how one thing leads to another. And another...
Sounds like some of my days. I do love your collage of stars and who needs to vacuum anyway.
Just love the stars, it is high on my wishlist. Greetings and happy and healthy 2017
