A couple of quilting friends came over for a hastily organized FNSI. It's the long weekend here, so I was happy that anyone was in town to come and sew with me. I have decided that sewing with friends is good for "whatever ails ya"!
A full evening of sewing last night got me to the end of step #5 of the Sunny Side Quilt Along. It seems like 18 blocks is an odd number to need, but I double checked the pattern last night, and that is the correct number. I am using my collection of Kansas Troubles fabric, and think it will be perfect for this pattern.Today I am cutting for the alternate star blocks in blues and green.
And in between sewing these chain blocks, I was able to
Hop over to Soscrappy to see the other blue projects being made this week. And feel free to join in at any time - start organizing your scraps and getting them into quilts!

Beautiful quilt and stars. I think the green and blue pair nicely together :D
You made fantastic progress on both of these projects! Always more fun when sewing with friends.
Have a great weekend!
Blocks look great and I think I figured out WHY you are making 18 blocks :)
I agree with you...sewing with friends is more fun! You managed to get a lot accomplished in the FNSI!
The Kansas Troubles look great in Sunny Side UP! I've resisted with all my UFO's and NewFO's, LOL. No Friday night sewing for me- I should have, hubby was gone. Just hopped a few more Blogs in the Blogger's Quilt Festival.
Yes, you do seem to have a lot of lovely blue/green wonderfulness going on there! Some splashes of hot colors like orange and hot pink would spice it up LOL!!! Of course, you may not want to "spice it up" - it's going to be amazing either way!
Sometimes I have trouble putting away last months color too. Using scraps is always a good thing though, no matter what the color.
I love your blocks and love your batik fabric too!
Loving the Sunny Side Quilt!
Drooling over all your lovely batiks!
Fabulous fabrics for both projects. I like green and blue together too!
What a lovely variety of blues in your Alamo Star leader/ender project. I'm doing a little leader/ender venture as well, perhaps I' remember to post next week.
I look forward to seeing the star blocks inserted among the chains. KT fabrics should make a warm, inviting quilt.
How many Alamo Stars are you hoping to complete by year's end--or is it just as far as the scraps take you? Are you trying for equal amounts of each color?
lovely blocks ,well done.xx
Lovely blocks and thanks for stitching along with me.
I really love your 'sunny side quilt along' quilt. The colours are so pretty.
Corrina
your stars are lovely. Beautiful fabric
