Over a year ago I had tried out a block that caught my eye - the Asterisk block - still to be found here and if you google it you will find several variations now!
I had thought at the time that I might make a quilt of these but only got as far as making two blocks. Well I can't do magic and stretch two little blocks anywhere near a quilt and quite frankly have lost interest in doing so.
They are on my FAL list so I didn't just want to ignore them ....so yesterday this is what happened - these two orphan blocks
Do I like my asterisk pouch? Have to say that I do and revisiting pouch making is good practice for my modernscrappybitsswap pouch for my partner. Wouldn't want to mess up the birdy would I!?
Another FAL project bites the dust ! That makes three down and three to go!

Well recycled! I'd better get on to my next FAL item...
ReplyDeleteI think we're on the same wavelength as this is what I'm going to do with an orphan block but I'm saving it for FAL Q2! It's great, I hope mine looks half as lovely!
ReplyDeleteExcellent usage xx
ReplyDeleteGood solution. Di x
ReplyDeleteI really like your asterisk pouches and great use of the orphans - if you had another couple of pouches they could stand for a 'naughty' word ;)
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
