Scrappy Stars

Scrappy Stars
Quilt of Valor
56 x 72 inches
Yet another attempt to reduce the scraps that have been accumulating the last four years. Everything on this quilt but the sashing is from the scrap bin.

The block I used is called Broken Dishes - I used 4 inch squares to make the half-square triangles (HSTs) used in this quilt. The large blocks are 14 inches finished.

The app BlockFab is a wonderful tool for quilting. It helps size a block from 1 - 38 inches, gives cutting directions, as well as suggests blocks with which to set the blocks. It is an extremely helpful tool, but unfortunately it is only available for the iPhone. If more Droid users become aware of the app, they might encourage the designer to make it available for them, too.

  8. Such a *rough* name for such a pretty pattern. I know it will make a veteran very happy one of these days.

  9. So pretty and the tan sashing and variety of tans, beiges etc just make the blues and red look more vibrant. Much richer looking than white would have been. Love it.
