Finished the Citrine Blocks. It's not nearly such a  tricky one as Block Two - just a lot of bits.

The black spotty bits on the right are my socks seen through the glass top table!

I spent a couple of hours this afternoon cutting out the fabric for 3 of these blocks. I could hardly straighten up when I'd finished but at least I have all the pieces ready for sewing the next time I feel able. I'm probably going for a 5' x 4' quilt top, before borders, so am making three of each block to start with, and then I'll see how it goes. :)

I have nearly finished my fifth one for this star.  I want my quilt to be 6 x 4 before borders so the arrangement might be difficult  -<

 I decided to make all five at one time rather than do a test first. Went well until near the end when I realised I had cut my centre squares 4 inch square. I’m looking forward to the next block. I’m going to have to order more background fabric.

I finally got round to more sewing on this block this afternoon - it's more than a fortnight since I cut out all the pieces! I got part way through and was then interrupted by the arrival of a four-legged, furry friend  :meow: who wanted to supervise me. Her idea of supervising was to investigate my iron (which was on, and in reach  :S ), try to nibble at the pins in the pincushion, and then settle down on my half-finished block. I did try to continue around her but it all started to go wrong so I decided to pack up and try again another day. :)

At last, I have something to show for all my efforts! This is the second of my three Citrine Stars, so a way to go yet. At this rate I might have a quilt by next year. :)
