We got snow on and off and sometimes it was a LOT! I shoveled a LOT. I love it. It's a good activity and it pushes me to be outside, enjoying the sunshine.
I made these yellow HSTs as I made some pink too. I did some in a darker yellow also but they are playing hide and seek at the moment and I don't feel like seeking.
Here's the thing with these. I am making lots of HSTs lately (wow, isn't that an understatement?) and some are too small to play in the HST quilt (have to find a better name for it). I ended up with lots of 2" HST. I didn't have to search far to find another HST quilt that I like.
Correct me if I'm wrong but this block was proposed by Border Creek Station as a stash buster challenge block in 2018(?). Here's a preview of 4 blocks together.
I couldn't JUST buy thread when there's a sale going on so I spoiled myself with some fabric. (You know, shopping therapy.) These are 2 and 3 meters long for backings. I have everything I need to finish some tops except the energy to do it.
And off she goes to make more HSTs.
Take care everyone.
;^)

Yay for YELLOW thread!! Now, you are ready for quilting.
That made me laugh "all I need to finish the tops except the energy". Soon I hope, one at a time and you will get there.
De nouveaux tissus, ça fait toujours plaisir ! En plus ceux-là sont très beaux. L'énergie viendra plus tard ;)
Sometimes little bits here and there is all we can manage, and that's okay! Glad you got your thread and some fun fabrics to go along with it, too. Hope there's not too much more snow for you.
I hear ya on the 'except the energy' part. There are some days that all I do is cut pieces for future quilts because I don't have the oomph to do anything more complicated.
Love that new HST block!
It's ok to have this kind of week or month or whatever you need to re-energize your mojo. I kind of like that stashbuster block. Looks like a way to burn through a bunch of scrappy pieces quickly. Have a great week
I love the idea of the gingerbread shed! But you might have little visitors trying to eat it! The stashbuster block is intriguing with lots of those lovely hsts.
Having yellow thread is a step in the right direction.
PUrchasing thread and fabric are important to quilt making!
love the idea of a gingerbread shed...
