I also completed my Scrap Hexies Star and am now working on a snowflake or two in blue. I need to replace the outer points in the light blue star at the bottom right--they just disappear against the background. This has been my hand-stitching project since last August.
Lastly, I made a batch of little nine-patches that finish at 3". Not sure what they will end up going into, but they are a great way to use up scraps.
Check out the Rainbow Scrap Challenge posts every Saturday to see how others are using up their scraps. So many beautiful projects! I am also linking up to the Hexie Weekend at A Quilting Reader's Garden

What a good idea using alternate light and dark backgroud fabrics in the LeMoyne star blocks. That's going to be a really nice quilt.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I really like your LeMoyne star blocks, they are turning out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteYour lemoyne stars are just gorgeous. Do you machine piece them? Great idea to use a dark and light background, really adds some interest!
ReplyDeleteYes, they are machine pieced. The star blocks finish at 6".
DeleteReally great blocks. I will keep stopping by to see your progress.
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks! I love those little nine patches -- so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love those lemoyne stars! They are on my someday list. Nine patches are so universal - they look great in any quilt.
ReplyDeleteI think the lemoyne stars are going to be stunning!
ReplyDeleteLove the setting for your stars! What a great quilt they will make. Great stack of nine patches for someday. They come in handy for so many things
ReplyDeleteI look at what everyone else is making and just want to do it also (love those stars!)
ReplyDeleteAwesome blocks! Especially love the hexies!
ReplyDeleteI love the lighter fabric with the dancing stars too. I look forward to seeing your finished quilt with the dancing stars. 9-patch blocks always come in handy. I am sure you will find a perfect use for them.
ReplyDeleteLeMoyne Stars - yours are sparkling!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNice LeMoyne stars..
ReplyDeleteEveryone's doing hexes. I am not going to catch that bug.
Well done
Great projects - love the stars.
ReplyDeleteI like the LeMoyne's with the alternating background. And your hexies are to die for!
ReplyDeleteLove your stars... And hexies... And 9 patches too! You have some fantastic quilts in the making.
ReplyDeleteOh my Stars! Look at you go!!! Those Lemoyne stars are really pretty!
ReplyDeleteThose LeMoyne Stars are so nice. I like the background fabric especially. I have never tried Y seams before. It's all very pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove the stars xx
