My favorite star block is still the Ohio Star,
even after making as many as I did for this quilt.
All of the block pieces in this quilt are 2 inches finished, including the little hourglass blocks that make the Ohio Star.

| Using up scraps with the pillow shams . . . flying geese from the border. The quilting on the shams is the same as done on the quilt border. |
 |
| Neckroll made with leftover blocks. I always do a neckroll for my bed sets to hide the top of the sleeping pillows. The neckroll is made by whip stitching 2 little roll pillows together. The little roll pillows are from JoAnn. |
 |
| This neckroll is closed with a tie that I made from fabric from the quilt. Sometimes I do a drawstring closure for the neckroll . . . but this is the easiest, and I like the little frilly look . . . looks like crackers!party poppers the English have on their Christmas tables. |
 |
| No scrap shall remain unsewn! The very last little fabric bits were sewn together willy-nilly with no real forethought. I love these little projects . . . and no scraps in the waste basket. |

 |
| This is the quilt that goes on the bed at Thanksgiving. There is no Christmas quilt, yet. At this point the Christmas quilt is a stack of fabric and a plan. It will be very red. With dragons. Oh my! |
