Quilt Cut

I worked up a couple of practice blocks last night.  The first star was too small.  At that point I decided to stop practicing with my new batik fabric.  The sawtooth star will finish at 12 inches, I thought it needed a little something, so looked up the measurements to replace the center portion with a square in a square block.  Then I worked out an alternate block based on 2.5 inch squares with half light and half dark background.  TaDa!  I new quilt is being born.  I don't have any darker background fabric, but the rest of it is cut out and ready to be sewn together again.
The boys are off to Dungeons and Dragons this afternoon so the girls will have a nice lunch out with a trip to Joann's.  Anna needs a costume for her play on Friday.  She is going to be Veruca Salt from Willy Wonka Junior.  We picked up a dress at Goodwill yesterday which we are going to alter, so we will get supplies for that at the same time.
