I woke up Monday with a migraine, but I really, really, really wanted to get caught up on the blockheads block.
By late afternoon, it had mellowed enough that I thought I could try and tackle a block or two. There were three blocks to catch up on.
The first block…. well I’m still trying to decide how to do it with just two fabrics and a background. I have some ideas, but I’m not sold on any of the yet. The second block, I’ve decided to skip… it just won’t work with my vision of this quilt. The last block… I absolutely LOVE… but it’s paper pieced. I’m not opposed to paper-piecing… but my brain certainly wasn’t up to it with half a migraine still lingering.
But there was an alternate block provide for those who didn’t want to paper piece.
It’s called the Woven Star, and it was pretty easy to put together. Just the type of thing my sore brain could handle.
And mom suggested another block that would give a similar look to the paper-pieced one.
A Lemoine Star!!! It too was very easy to put together – though I did make one cutting error and had to redo a few HSTs.
So now I have three simple, but beautiful blocks, which I think are shaping up to a beautiful quilt!

What a disappointment to start Monday with a migraine! The blocks you were able to make are just beautiful and I know the quilt will be awesome. You’re good at improvising/creating.

Headaches are no fun and they certainly steal your crafting time. The blocks look great together. I like your substitution.
