I got the top sewed this afternoon for the quilt for our guild's Boutique fundraiser this Fall at our quilt show:
I'm really happy with it. It won't take long to quilt; just have to find an appropriate backing in my stash. It's from Sarah over at
Confessions of a Fabric Addict. She had posted a few days ago some inspiration for charity quilts. I can see myself making another of these....or two! I already drew out another one with a different shape in it other than the star.
I cut the squares 4 1/2", so to make the half-square triangles for the star block I cut a 4 7/8" square, drew a line down the diagonal, sewed 1/4" on either side of the drawn line and then cut on the drawn line to yield two half-square triangle squares.
I used my Book It! method. You can find it under the Tutorials tab up top. Here is how it looked for a part of this quilt's assembly:
It's such a cool method, and all the seams butt up so nicely.
On another note, I'm munching as I type on SUCH a terrific salad!! Soooo healthy, too.

| Green Goddess Detox Salad |
I saw a picture of this on Pinterest, and pinned it
here. I bought all the ingredients this weekend and made it tonight. Well I didn't get all the ingredients. . . I didn't read the ingredients properly from Pinterest; hence pea sprouts became sugar peas, and scallions became green onions, and I'd never heard of agave nectar, so I substituted a tsp of honey!! However, it turned out FANTASTIC! It is from Lindsay of
Pinch of Yum. Think I'll be visiting her more often, as there is a plethora of great recipes!
Off to finish the salad and then go teach yoga!
