Design Wall Monday

Having a late go of things here today.  Had to take care of some of those personal responsibilities of life; it's all too easy to let things slide and I've already done that way too much during my less than stellar health issues of late.  The back was playing happy today (praise God) and that helped a lot! Physical therapy starts in the morning.  But, I'm getting side-tracked.  I'm here with a shot of what's on my design wall.  Remember those Sawtooth Stars of a few days ago?  Well, here's the top half, minus the right border, of the project they're in.  Each block is not in it's final position, but laid out just enough so that I could get an idea of how it was coming together.  Just pinned to the wall, I was really struggling with how the pattern didn't seem to be showing very well, but when I took the picture, it tightened it up, and I could see the design a whole lot better.  Hasn't it been suggested to get one of those front door peep hole things to look through for that reason?  Some things show best from a distance.

I'm already getting restless to find a new project to get started on, but there's a list of January "Get It Done" items I need to review, and get to work on too - after all, those are my goals! as well as new projects and finishes.

Linking to Judy's Patchwork Times where busy, busy folks are showing their design wall activity, check them out :)

Oh My Stars! or Oh My, Stars!

Gotta love the English language and our grammar and punctuation, or lack thereof.  In this case, it's Stars! and lots of them, as in Sawtooth Stars.  

I missed getting my post ready for Monday, so I'm linking it up today, at Judy's Patchwork Times Design Wall Monday.  I'm glad she leaves the link open for several days.  The Sawtooth Stars are for my January NewFO project, and I'll provide more detail on that on January 31st when I link up to Cat Patches.  There are 40 of these stars.  Note the star on the right, 8 of them have one solid square instead of the HSTs.
