It's scrappy Saturday over at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.I have been making these little Alamo Star blocks for about two years now. You can read the first post here.
They measure 2.75" and will be 2.25" once sewn to other star blocks.
I try to make some of these stars in the colour of the month over at RSC using batik scraps cut to 1.25".
I use the Tri-Recs rulers to cut up the strips into useable pieces. Cutting the little pieces takes longer than sewing them together!
This is my little storage box where I keep some strips I want to cut, some pieces that have been cut and are ready to sew, and a few recently finished stars.
In december I am going to do a grand total count, and put them on the design wall to see how many more I want to make next year.
