Scrappy Project Planner Sew Along - Week Two - Shortcut Stars Quilt!!

Happy Friday!

It's week two in our 

Scrappy Project Planner 

Sew Along:)

Grab your 

scrappy stash because...

today's post is all about

 the Shortcut Star block:)

You will find the pattern

 in the last section 

of the planner:)

I took a top shot of 

a few of my blocks 

after I had sewn them...

I couldn't wait to see 

how they would look

 next to each other!

In the Tips and Organizing

 section of the planner...

I show you my 

Shortcut Methods for 

Flying Geese...

Half Square Triangles and

Quarter Square Triangles

 I wanted to design a block

 that uses all three of my methods

 and that's why I designed the

 Shortcut Stars!

I super love my 

Shortcut Stars quilt...

it's sew scrappy happy!

Stars have always

 been a favorite block

 for quilters. 

 I chose to set up a photo 

here on this spot

during the shoot

 because of the flags...

of course stars and flags

 are a classic combo 

and I love how they look together:)

A few closer looks...

Another thing I love 

about these blocks is the

 "Built in Sashing"

I designed it so that the

 scrappy sashing strips are 

sewn onto each block individually 

as its constructed...

 and then all you have to do

 is sew the blocks together 

for that instant scrappy 

strip sashing to appear:)

I love how the 

sashing strips frame the stars!

Heart eyes for this red 

vintage church bench:)

I hope you are inspired by

 all of the different

 color combinations 

in each block...

the possibilities

 really are endless:)

I'd LOVE to see yours!
