I had a change of plan whilst sewing this quilt ( this often happens to me)! I thought that perhaps it would look better if I made some 9″ star blocks to go between the 12″ and the 6″ blocks.

I have decided to use many different star blocks - almost like a star sampler.
This one is called Mosaic Star

Quick and Easy Seasonal Sensations

I wanted to make something effective, but because time is scarce these days it had to be quick, so I bought some tea towels from a local linen store - they weren’t expensive - you could buy them from anywhere really, kitchen shop, home store, even the supermarket, and I attached some card making labels to the bottom of the tea towels.
And when the temperatures drop again, you can use your lap quilt to keep you warm so that you can keep your thermostat down and so save on your future fuel bills!!
