Quilting and sewing are very spasmodic at the moment. So when something simple and quick catches my eye I tend to jump in with both feet. That was my reaction when I saw that Em was having a summer scrap challenge.
I showed this pile of scraps yesterday. I've had fun playing with the bright colors, quite opposite to my usual pink.
Add some white background and a little cutting and stitching and you come up with these happy little 6 inch Maverick stars.
Time doesn't seem to be my friend at the moment, what with looking for work and buying a new car, my sewing machine is feeling very neglected, but all going well I hope to have these little blocks all put together by the end of the day.
Happy Stitching.
Linda

Love these scrap happy stars! Thanks for joining my challenge. Hope you have fun.
Very cute, Linda. I love them!
A job and a new car - woohoo!
Don't feel down, even though you have a lot of concerns. When you CAN get to your machine, let it all out. Those blocks are funky, fun and a wonderful way to use up scraps. Great!
Love those summery colours on the white background!
Cute little blocks and maybe a great distraction for you Linda.
