For some reason, I am seem to be "forgetting" the hourglass project but these little stars are so much fun!
At this scale, threads look like ropes, don't they?
After completing the first red star, I decided that it would be easier to make all the center squares and then do all the outside pieces.
The center blocks are 2 1/2" and finish at 2"... smallest blocks I've made before!

I'm working on my third set of these stars tonight. My first set was made as they were posted and I did the reverse of what you have done here. I had all of my star points cut and assembled and was waiting for the centers each week. Aren't they fun?
ReplyDeleteWow, very nicely started. I looked at each block, each week and did nothing beyond thinking happy thoughts. Now that they are showing up completed I am thinking sewing thoughts. Thanks for the push.
ReplyDeleteWow Freda, thast's even smaller then my spoolblocks..... but they all looks great.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong in getting side tracked....
