The HST are all some form of green. Next I made a star block with a 16 patch center--
Kind of aquamarine.
Last night I searched my stash for aquamarine. Nope, not much there. ???? I love that color and decided the few bits in my stash were because I use it up as fast as it come in! I'll make more green blocks (never too much green!) and call it good. Please see what everyone has made at SoScrappy!
Its been a busy week, we finished planting soybeans, my garden is in, and I'm home from the camper for a few days. I've missed my stash, and I've been too busy with volunteering to have much sewing time. My laptop has been persnickety all day, didn't want to connect to the internet.
I've been playing with the stash and planning a new start. Dreading my stash report. (Insert big grin here!!) Its all good!!

Nice collection of blocks, Lori! Welcome back from the camper and I heard a rumor... your stash missed you, too!!!
Your blocks all look wonderful! Those Jacob's Ladders are my favorites.
Terrific blocks! Glad that you were able to come back to visit your stash for a while. The star block is lovely, my favorite!
Pretty begining of a quilt and pretty star.
I always enjoy your Jacob's Ladder blocks, and they are great in the greens! I think green is my favorite color, too. Love the star block, too - makes me realize I need to get going on my star blocks!
I love all the scrappy blocks: well done!
I'm working on turning 2.5" scraps into strip sets to make sixteen patch blocks, too. I haven't decided whether to make stars or pair them with pinwheels. Time will tell.
Your Jacobs Ladder blocks continue to get better, so much variety. The star block is lovely and I like the base fabric with the aqua dots. Looks nice and cool just when we need it. Keep up the good work!.
We probably all have a color that we love and use up as soon as we buy it. Your aquamarine star is very pretty with that scrappy center!
They are all beautiful.
Star blocks are my favorite and yours is very pretty. I have been making these star blocks too. I love your Jacob's Ladder blocks. Awesome blocks for stash busting. It is going to be a beautiful quilt.
Oh yes, my favorite blocks and scrappy to boot!
Regarding using/eliminating stash - this is what has been working for me. I seem to have gotten all caught up in extra HSts and strips of given size, and can't bear to throw them away, single blocks, trying things out, but not having interest in doing anything this some plastic bags of this and that. Every time I see them, instead of getting me inspired, they get me all discombobulated and stressed that I'ave not used them! I finally "bit the bullet" and started donating them to the White Elephant table at Quilt Guild. So far, they go like hotcakes, and occasionally show up again in a quilt, which makes me very happy. Bit by bit, my orphan items are disappearing, and my own brain is less muddled. (I think ... ) Because they go so fast, I'm hoping someone else might be inspired with them. 8-)))
