Sparkling Stars - Citrine Blocks

 In March 2023 I made the Ruby, Amethyst and Emerald Blocks for the Sparkling Stars quilt from The Sewing Place.

After a long pause, I gave myself a nudge, and have now done the Citrine blocks

I've done them as neatly as I am able, which for now is good enough.

The yellow fabrics all came from my lovely Auntie Joy's quilting stash.

I still have the Aquarmarine and Sapphire blocks to do, but maybe a bit of garment sewing next.

For a chuckle I include the first picture I took of the blocks, only for a dear friend to notice the 'deliberate mistake?'. Once I'd seen it it was glaringly obvious so I had to upick and resew that section!

Here are all the blocks I've made so far.

Yellow floral culottes with pockets

Yellow floral culottes with pockets. They come to just below the knee and look like a little skirt when I stand still, but then you can see the legs when I move. I plan to wear these with a plain pale blue, grey-green or ivory tshirt.

These use my basic elastic waist trouser pattern with inseam pockets I drafted myself, and for this pair the legs widened as much as the fabric allowed. The pockets are from a scrap of ivory fabric.
