A finish....

Star Crossed quilt is officially finished in piecing and now has moved to the next pile. This photo was taken in the shade...

And this one in the sun. 


When I had the pieces to each block set out and ready to sew, it took about 20 mins to put together. No less. But if the pieces weren’t correct and I had to go cut more or change out colors because of the directions, it took more than 30. I did them in sets of 5, laid them out and made sure all the correct pieces were there. Put them on my boards and they were ready to go, that alone took a lot of time. The 20 mins, that’s  not even ironing in between, just straight sewing. Times that by 42.  Yuck!

I love to do blocks that have a lot of pieces that are mindless sewing... but these, I had to be on my toes and thinking the whole time. At one time,  I actually thought of putting like a 6-7” border on it and scalloped edges.. nope.. not gonna happen. The directions finish it as it is... 
It gets no sashing, borders or anything else. It’s done!
