Summer Stars Progress

I've been working right along on the Summer Stars table topper.

I pinned extra carefully since I was going to be twirling the topper around and around while quilting.

 

Nothing special quilting-wise... a lot of stitch in the ditch and diamonds on the borders.

It's traveling along with the table runner and should be to my daughter's house in a day or two.

Summer Star Blocks

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!
