The star count for my first week of Monday Star Counts is...well, it's 1. I have completed one hand-pieced star. Eventually, it will become a quilt, but for now, it's a star, and I'm pretty excited that I stopped arranging and re-arranging these basted diamonds and finally just grouped them by colour, grabbed six of them and put them together. I think that we can over-think what "scrappy" or "random" means sometimes.
I started this process at the beginning of July, and these diamonds were basted on vacation, and at the park. I'm so glad I started this in the summertime.
More on the process later. For now, the grated zucchini sitting on the counter is calling my name, and the garden isn't slowing down production anytime soon.

I like the star you already made up. Sometimes thinking does not only slow you down, bit downright inhibits creativity.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great project for summer, isn't it? I am so exhausted after a day of yardwork that I need something small and simple for my evenings. I never know what will evolve either...
ReplyDeleteYour first star is wonderful! Sometimes we tend to overthink a project and it causes us to lose interest really fast...I am making a scrappy star as well and tried to do an organized scrappy, which is really not scrappy at all...so now I am just pulling random fabric to cut into diamonds and it is working better for me...
ReplyDeleteI agree with Helen, this is a great summer project!
ReplyDeleteI agree summer time is perfect for epp. I love being able to take it anywhere with me. And it is wonderful to have something small to work on when it is so unbearably hot. Your first star looks lovely.
