My goal this month was to assemble my RSC blocks into a top. I did get that accomplished. I added skinny sashing strips between the blocks and a 2.5" outer border because I thought I could preserve my points better. That only works when you actually left yourself 1/4" from the points to work with. I had quite a few that got chopped off. Oops.

I grabbed a quick picture of the finished top in between rain showers. I am very surprised at how many of the whites are showing up as cream in this photo. It doesn't look like that in real life. It is mostly the fabrics that are heavily printed with white ink that photographed oddly.

The free pattern I used is Strippy Slab Star from mmm quilts.

My top needs to be pressed. You might have seen my last post (if not, scroll down; it's the post immediately behind this one) where I was discussing making a back from my 25-year-old fabrics. The top got mangled on the floor while I was working and then all wrapped up in the backing fabrics when I needed to move it quickly so that I could work on someone else's quilt.

Anyway, I am working on piecing a backing and I'm planning to make a Frankenbatting with my white batting scraps. I'm hoping to have a finish within the next month--the backing is taking a lot more time than I had planned.

Now it's your turn.
