Work continues on the Marseilles Stars. As mentioned, I make them two at a time, but they are still fairly time-consuming, so two is all I’m usually able to do in one session.
I have six done so far (with eight more to follow) and as I mentioned, I’m really thinking about laying them out on point with a plain white block in between them.
I laid them out on my hall floor (please excuse the hideous vinyl tiles) and I definitely think that’s the way to go. Of course that won’t be happening any time soon… there’s still eight more stars to make!
These are really nice blocks to work on-it is interesting to see the subtle differences!
I can only squeeze in two blocks a day, too, but they still add up!

They are really pretty, but they do look like an awful lot of work! but if it’s fun, then it’s not work…it’s play!!

I’ve got the same tiles in the soap room and I hate them too but they do serve the purpose since I have to scrub them so often.
I love those stars. It’s my favorite pattern but it scares me to death. I can never get anything to match up.

Crickey! I’ll take your hideous vinyl tiles over our old, beat up ugly linoleum tiles any day! I dream of a kitchen rebuild; with new flooring, counters, layout, ceiling, lighting, and new windows too! But the floor bugs me the most…

Nice work on those time-consuming flying geese! On point looks great, IMHO. You are going to end up with a very nice quilt!

Love those star blocks and putting them on point changes the appearance totally. That is going to be a beautiful quilt.

Very pretty! I can see why you plan to put them on point, they need the separation to shine!
