I have no idea how much time has flown by. I was sewing and moving fabric around, but somehow writing and posting eluded me. Scrap Jar Stars is now sewn, it is 72 x85. I added a 3" white border to contain it and to stabilize the edges. More and more, I do not like enclosing so many seams in the binding. I like the snap and brighness of it as well as so many different fabrics. I used lots of different white on whites for the background so the colors were not in a boring flat white sea.
Once again, I did all the components- the center 16 patches, the corners, the HSTs, as leader enders. Then I laid out each block on freezer paper and stacked them and sewed them as a web block. I also sewed the sashing on each block, and then sewed the blocks together web fashion. I do not like the technical difficulties of sewing long thin strips of fabric between rows of blocks. I have better control and results this way.

Oh, that is a pretty one!
I agree with Wanda - VERY pretty! - ;))
What a beautiful quilt!
That quilt is lovely. I will be excited to see how you quilt it.
REALLY pretty - I've tried that block but never made more that the first test block. Kudos to you!
Love it!!!
Good for you making the decision to go bigger with the size, Scrap Jar Stars is a delight.
