It's Scrappy Saturdayover at the Rainbow Challenge. Last week I showed some orange asterisk blocks that I made. I had so much fun with them that this week I made a few more blocks in other autumn colours.
These asterisk blocks finished at 2" and the mini quilt measures about 10.5" square. It doesn't take a lot of scraps to make a block...try it you'll like it! I found the instructions here on the Selvage Blog and just kept making smaller blocks until I was happy with the size. I used up a few more scraps on the cornerstones and border/backing/binding, and then we went outside for a photo shoot in the tree in my backyard...it fits in perfectly!
Make sure you bring this to show when you come to speak to our guild in London! I want to see it in person! You are brave to work with such small pieces. looks great!
So cute, I am definitely going to add some of those to my crumb quilt. Maybe not quite so tiny though. Love the way you have it posed, so professional looking.
Very pretty. Love the colors, it definitely looks like fall!
ReplyDeletehow cute! I love it!
ReplyDelete2" asterisk blocks! Wow! I think I need to try making a few for my crumb-along quilt. This little scrappy orange quilt is adorable.

ReplyDeleteIf you hadn't told me it was a miniature, It would have taken me much longer to clue in.
ReplyDeleteI love it....I think I will have to make an asterisk quilt too....seems like a good plan for a scrap quilt class.....off I go!
