Design Wall Monday--see more design walls on Judy's Small Quilts and Doll Quilts blog.
I hadn't sewn much in the past several weeks, but wanted to make some Christmas items. The Scandinavian folded stars have caught my eye. I rummaged through a big tub of Christmas fabrics for some fun prints.
These are not hard to make but do require cutting and prepping. I used this tutorial for the cutting sizes and directions.
Some came out better than others but I like them all. I'll use some embroidery floss to make a hanging loop. The red fabric in the lower left star is nearing vintage status...
..well at least legal drinking age!!🤣 I used to really like the sweet Cranston prints back in the day.
I cut my strips 4x16" and the trimmings during the star point folding were often more than 2" tall. I cut them all to 2"x4" pieces and made a mini mat and perhaps a future placemat.
I'm way behind in my Christmas shopping but did get a few things off the list!

I really like these stars. I have received a few from friends and family, and they make a nice addition to the tree. But I have never attempted making one. Thanks for the link, in case I get brave. LOL
What a cute little mat.
Oh, I really just started shopping this week, and I have spent more time in town the past couple of days than I have the rest of the month so far. Most of my family members appear to want gift cards to favorite shops, and that has made it relatively easy.
