It's that time of year when we turn our RSC blocks into quilts. After making my yellow Boxy Star block, I needed two more blocks to have 12 blocks for a 3 x 4 block layout. After making two colorful, scrappy blocks, it was time to put my quilt together.
The backing is pieced from stash. It's quilted with a loose free motion meander and bound with a colorful print. After a go in the washer and dryer it finished at 49" x 63". Boxy Stars is a Bonnie Hunter pattern found here. I think I'll do this pattern again and make all the blocks colorful and scrappy.
This picture shows progress on my RSC Column Quilt. I sewed 1.5" white strips between each 55" column. Now it looks like a row quilt because it is 55" by about 70". No problem for me. I think I'll add a narrow white border and an outer border of green, blue, yellow or orange. Maybe I'l finish it this week. To see what others made with their scraps this week, go here.

I love your boxy star quilt! It's beautiful. Your row quilt is turning out to be wonderful! I love how you have put it together.
The boxy star looks great - a fun pattern to use up scraps. And your colorful row quilt is stunning, too. You had a fabulous quilting year.
You boxy star quilt is fabulous! I love how each block looks similar yet unique!
Love the boxy star! Your row this month is great. I still need to make mine but love how you used all colors in there for the orange and yellow. I think I'll do that too. Looking great.
Nearly 2 finishes! You are cooking, Girl.
Hugs
Progress on your RSC Column Quilt AND you finished your Boxy Star quilt?! Way to go!!!
I love your Boxy Stars quilt! The sampler row quilt is looking great too. I am also planning to add a strip of background between my rows of blocks like you did.
the star quilt really brings home lessons on color and shade. The block looks different with different shade choices. So cool.
The boxy star quilt is beautiful. The row quilt is stunning. You have had some great finishes for the rainbow year.
Great lookin' Boxy Star quilt! I love the rainbow binding, too!
Boxy starts turned out so fun and bright. Congrats on a beautiful finish. I really like your setting for the RSC sampler blocks. Another bold and beautiful quilt in the works.
I like your Boxy Stars quilt! The two multi-colored stars are perfect for it. I also really like how you are finishing your sampler quilt. The white sashing is a great idea!
I like your row quilt. I have only done one before and donated it to QOV. I think I would like to do another and vary the sizes of blocks like you did.
Love your boxy star quilt. Never seen that pattern before.
The boxy quilt looks great and I like how the row by row is looking.
The boxy star blocks seem to flip flop depending on where the colors are placed, very interesting. The rows look great with the white strips between. Sounds like you will finish it up with a bang.
Love your boxy stars - I have only made one of these blocks and gave it away :) I think I really like the scrappy star - although the orange one is really cool too. The row quilt is neat! I will have to follow your link and see more;)
Hooray for a finish!! I agree, a boxy star with scrappy colors would be fun!!! Your row quilt is looking great! Another busy week for you. Yea!!
Both these look great. I like the boxy star block a lot and think a scrappy version would look fantastic.
gorgeous boxy star pattern. I love how different the stars look depending on the colours
Well, Sheila, those are two very nice quilts! I like where you've gone with both of them.
Pretties! I love what you did with the row quilt. Looks very cheerful!
Your boxy stars quilt is awesome! Looking forward to seeing what you will work on this year!
Both are beauties!
Are you getting the dump of snow that the weatherman said you were? We get an inch here and there. Maybe a whole 6" so far this year. We got an ice storm somewhere in there, and now every walkway is dangerous. Hope you are fairing better.
Hugs
Another happy and scrappy finish. Love the back too.
What fun to see your RSC blocks assembled! The boxy stars look great and I look forward to seeing the borders on your row quilt.
Your row by row is looking great with the white strip in there. Boxy stars looks great!
