They are shown hanging from my sock 'chandelier'. A laundry day 'must have' for small spaces and wool socks!
I am not sure why, but I am having difficulty taking sharp photos these days, so you can't tell that one of the reds is a tiny stripe and the other is a tiny dot pattern. The blue has little swirls and tiny gold dots that kind of remind me of a starry night. (Kind of a star in a star thing.)
It was a good exercise for me to follow the instructions for cutting and piecing. I think that I finally have gotten the hang of a consistent seam allowance, as all three blocks turned out the same size. The star points are not all perfect, but there is really no overt wonky-ness!
I didn't have very much cream 'tone on tone', just a couple of small pieces from a scrap bag that I got at the lqs. I supplemented with Kona 'bone' for the large triangles.
I also finished up my name tag for the meeting this week. I am not thrilled at the result. It looks a bit like a coaster on a string, since I made it to hang around my neck. It is essentially a very tiny quilt and pretty stiff since I got carried away with the quilting. Another good learning experience, though. I think I will make another and use the first one for a luggage tag on my sewing machine case.
I am looking forward to the guild meeting this week. It is so inspiring to see what everyone else is working on!

Those are lovely - you have such a good heart! I like your sock chandelier. My mom has something similar.
I'd like to see the name tag! The squares are really nice. I like the colors.
They look great! I'm working on mine tonight!! :-D
I was wondering what the hangy thing was! Sounds like you are having a lot of fun with the guild. Good on you!
For drying wool socks? You have that many???
If you are using a camera and not a phone try resetting to the default settings. It might help.
They turned out great! :)
