Loving the sashing!

Not much time tonight, because I should be packing for my retreat.  But I got my Charming Stars put together, and I’m really happy with them.  They definitely needed the sashing.

I was really on a roll on Sunday, so after finishing this, I put together a baby quilt with some of my pink scraps.

I’ll use a scrappy binding for this, and that will finish off many of my pink scraps.  It’s hard to tell in this picture, but all the pinks are different. 

I have enough blue charms left from the Charming Stars to make another quilt, and I plan to make it child sized.  Then it and the pink quilt will be donated to our local Sheriff’s Department for our Guild’s service project.  They keep small quilts in their cruisers to be sued when a child needs comforting.

Must go pack now.  Much sewing to be done over the weekend.      Sunny
