This year I've had a little trouble settling on my rainbow project for the year. The current top choice is to make more 6" LeMoyne stars like the ones below. These were started many years ago and have been sitting in a box ever since. It's about time they were allowed to come out & play!
So far I have made 4 stars in blues, our January color. The three bright ones look great with the previous set, but that one at the lower right is not going to make the cut.
My carry-over project from last year's RSC is my scrappy hexies. I have been basting blue hexies and hope to start sewing them together next week.
Check out the Rainbow Scrap Challenge posts every Saturday to see how others are using up their scraps. So many beautiful projects!

Love your Lemoyne Stars! Do you hand piece them?
ReplyDeleteNo, I am piecing them by machine.
DeleteThe Le Moyne star is my favorite star block ever! They really sparkle on the dark background.
ReplyDeleteYour stars look wonderful - great job piecing them!
ReplyDeleteLove those starts! They sing.
ReplyDeleteLove your LeMoyne stars Julie :) Great start with your blues too. Look forward to seeing how your hexagons progress.
ReplyDeleteA great start to the year!
ReplyDeleteI love LeMoyne Stars too. I actually thought of making some myself. I'd leave that lower right one in...you never know...when you get enough of them it will look great. And love the hexies too. Do you cut your own papers? I'd probably make some of those but am too lazy to cut all those papers!
ReplyDeleteNo way do I cut my own hexie papers. I buy them from Paper Pieces: http://paperpieces.com/

I love your blue fabrics. The star block is a great idea for a rainbow quilt.
ReplyDeleteGreat Projects (re)starts. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteLove the stars! One of my favorite blocks.
ReplyDeleteGreat LeMoyne stars - love the black background fabric!
ReplyDeleteLove your bright blues - maybe the reject can still make it on the back?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun new scrappy project for 2014. I love the look of those stars, but not so much making them.
