For the month of December the Rainbow Scrap Challenge isn't focused on one colour. We are encouraged to make blocks in any of the colours we may have missed working with throughout the year, and to get our blocks organized and sewn into quilt tops.
I sewed a couple of Maverick star blocks from the red scraps that are all over my sewing room from making blocks for the Quiltville mystery. There were lots of odd ends of strips to use up and they are perfect to make these star points. Can you see how these red points are mostly ends/selvage scraps?
I have 16 blocks for this collection so far. I wasn't sure if I wanted light stars on dark background, or dark stars on light background, so I tried both. I decided I like both, so will continue to add to the collection as scraps appear in 2016. Speaking of 2016, Angela is designing a scrappy column quiltalong for us - details are here. To see what the scrappy quilters are sewing today, hop over to SoScrappy.
Yeah, my Allietare is making a mess in my sewing area, too... I love those stars. Both kinds look great, and they look great together, too! I'm looking forward to you continuing with them next year!
What lovely and sweet stars. I just love them all.

ReplyDeleteWow, that's quite a collection. What size are the blocks?
ReplyDeleteI really like the combination of light and dark. Perfect way to use up all those odd triangles.

Your stars are very nice with the colors reversed. And so easy. Good head start on the new year.
ReplyDeleteFabulous!
ReplyDeleteliking this block, must do a search on utube to see how to make it.
ReplyDeleteYour scrappy stars are looking wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI like the dark on light/light on dark a lot.
ReplyDeleteI really like the mix of light and dark stars. Will be so fun to watch this one grow.
ReplyDeleteLooks good! I like the optical illusion of the stars with the dark background looking larger than the stars with the lighter background.
ReplyDeleteCute, cute stars. I love the "inside-out" ones with the dark backgrounds. I might like to give that a try sometime.
ReplyDeleteThat red star is just super ...
ReplyDeleteFabulous little star blocks, fabric pieces are never wasted :)
ReplyDeleteRed stars seem pretty perfect for the time of year - they look really lovely!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of those left overs. I like the mix of light and dark backgrounds. Looking forward to seeing more of this project next year.
ReplyDeleteI like that mix of dark to light as well. This could be a huge quilt if you keep going, LOL!
