Speaking of production lines.... I found this
Youtube chanel this morning. What a speedy whizz!!! I don't think I'll ever be that proficient.
So.. an update on my star blocks. I laid the tree blocks ontop of the fabric I was going to use for the star block background to get a better idea of the contrast and it just didn't work.
I've ordered a diiferent fabric which should arrive any day, fingers crossed.
The tree blocks are made using CSTs which means you end up with lots of 'spare' triangles. I sewed the pairs of triangles together and I now have a pile of HSTs which I thought I might use in a cushion cover to go with my quilt.
I was at the shops the other day and just happened to see the next issue of the Love Patchwork and Quilting magazine which just happened to have some beginner friendly patterns using HSTs and QSTs. Needless to say I bought it.
I can't start my cushion yet until I've finished the quilt as I want to use the off cuts from the star blocks as well as from the tree blocks.
So I ended up having a play using some different fabric!!!

This could be the beginning of a cushion or the beginning of another quilt. Who knows.
