Heather of A Reformed Heath'n is our queen for the month and she asked for scrappy Hunter's Star blocks. Heather wanted a four-patch blocks made of four Hunter's Star blocks. She asked us to think about contrast when it came to pairing our fabrics. I made two blocks because I had fun picking out the fabrics! I've made Hunter's Star blocks before, but this time I made extra effort to sew carefully and keep my points precise, since the blocks are for someone else. I think I did okay! The hardest part was pressing the seams open - is it weird to be bad at pressing my seams open? I'm bad at that.
Here are my two blocks! They went in the mail yesterday. I hope Heather likes them!
Heather asked us what our favorite home-cooked meal is, and I guess my answer is that it depends who is doing the cooking! When I'm cooking, I like to make stuffed shells in a red wine sauce with a nice goat cheese arugula salad for my boyfriend and myself, or a macaroni and cheese casserole. I love Hungarian food but it's a lot of work to make, so that's something I prefer when someone else is doing the home cooking. :)

it's so funny you write about pressing seams - I find that part tricky as well :)
Pressing seams open is not my normal method either. However, Heather was so right in suggesting we press the seams open - I think it made for a neater finish.
Well I love them!
