Half-way finished...

... with the eight blocks I need on the Celestial UFO.  My plan is to have four on the top of the quilt & four on the bottom to give it the necessary length to be bedside before I start adding borders to it.  Ultimately, it'll be a queen-sized bed quilt, when all is said & finally done.  Surprisingly, the blocks are going together much quicker the second time~ I remember my shortcuts & tricks, which helps.  And, because I'll most likely create the Starburst quilt again (which are the 8 blocks I'm using on this UFO), I'm writing in my notes.  Who knows how long my memory will hold~ and I'd rather be safe than sorry.

So, here are the first four blocks... I'm half-way finished... then, onto sashing & adding them to the Lone Star. Hopefully I don't end up with "math" issues; ie: measurements are off & algebra/geometry are required to fix the situation.  However, given that I had no pattern when I started this thing, that very scenario is highly likely.

Top Left: Block 1; Top Right: Block 2; Bottom Left: Block 3; Bottom Right: Block 4
With that note looming~ because undoubtedly I will have math angst~ I think it best to put down the rotary cutter & shut down for the night.  It'll all be there waiting for me tomorrow... or whenever I get back to it! Till then...

Happy Quilting!!! :o)
