Falling Stars is still on my design wall, but I have 5 rows together. It is coming along slowly. Sewing blocks together is the part of quilting I dislike the most. Even binding is better than sewing rows together!
To give myself a break from Falling Stars, I pulled out an old kit, Bram Bones. I bought this kit from a LQS about 2 years ago, but the only part of the kit I've used so far is the horse (precut and fused) and one of the batiks. I didn't like the yellowish fabric they chose for the background, and when I changed the background to gray, the rest of the colors didn't look right. I used brighter colors than the dull brownish oranges in the kit. The rest of the fabric from the kit will get dumped in my batik bin, which is still full despite all the batik quilts I've made in the past year. Bram Bones will be a wall hanging in time for Halloween next year.
I spent most of the morning cleaning up my sewing room. It had gotten so bad, it was hard to walk across the floor. I have too many bins of scraps and not enough room to store them all. I'm going to try to make more scrap quilts next year and whittle the piles down.
