Because I was working on a lot of projects this week, I chose to get the three small stalet blocks done - they take just a few minutes to do. BUT, for some reason one went missing and I had to whip up another. If and when (maybe never) the MIA starlet appears - I'll add it to the box.
Our March Quilt Guild meeting was a "Movie & Popcorn" night with viewing the U-Tube tutorials for the 5-Minute and 10-Minute blocks by Suzanne McNeill. I had made up blocks and samples to demo after each - now I need to finish these off. This was I runner I made with the 5-minute block and is ready to 'turn-back' the geese and quilt it up. Yes, Katie Q, I am still playing with that fabric you sent me - right down to the last bit into the fabric food chain. And it's green!

I have been making a lot of blocks all week - just to keep up with all the quilt and block alongs. I pulled these two greens for potential background fabric for the next Forest block. I am leaning toward the pine one - just need to measure (it's actually three scrap pieces) and make sure I have enough.
I will be linking up with Saturday's Rainbow Scrappy Challenge
REMINDER
I hope everyone is on track with the Hands2Help - the postage stamp quilt is at 'flimsy' stage and I hope to get that basted out and quilted this weekend. I have pledged two quilts, so the second one will be on track for May.

Really a neat block. I'm not sure I've seen that before.

I love your starlet blocks. That's a new one for me. Not familiar with the YouTube video clips you mention. Will try to look those up. Nice backing fabrics. Have a nice weekend.
Thank you for adding the YouTube links. Now I see how you made the runner. First time I have see Suzanne McNeill. She's good : )
Your little starlet blocks are adorable. Great use of the green fabrics!
Love your starlets, they are so cute. Those 5-minute and 10-minute blocks rock!
Your green blocks are wonderful Sharon! The missing one might make a great coaster when it turns up :-)
The greens are wonderful - my favorite color. The geese look so pretty and would make a great runner.
Lots of lovely green in your post today! You are busy...
I really like those star blocks, a little different !!
I like your starlet blocks. I can't wait to see your H2H postage stamp quilt.

Love those star blocks
Are the starlet blocks paper pieced? Where did you get the pattern?
Love the starlet blocks!! Yep on track for Hand 2 Help, got the first one with all the blocks done and the second is cut out. I'm trying to 4, we'll see if I can get it done.
I really like the starlet blocks, funny how something can go missing like that. Thanks for the tutorial links, I watched the 5 minute block, it amazes me how people keep coming up with new ideas & I thought my eyes were playing tricks on my as I kept seeing a curved goose on your table runner, now I get it.
Sharon I love those green starlet blocks. I'm not getting to read blogs much right now (I'll be back in June!) so I don't know - is that a Missouri Star tutorial? blessings, marlene
A wonderful collection of greens!
Those are such pretty starlit blocks. Love your green color choices.
You are always so busy. Hopefully I'll see you soon at the shop hop. Alana and I will be out your way on Friday late morning.
I can't believe you managed to squeeze so much out of those little pieces of fabric. The green stars and flying geese look great.
