When the first two veteran's home quilts were finished, I found I had made one block over-sized of the Godey Star, and decided to use it as a center block for this one. The red white and blue strips were also remnants of the Homeland quilt. I added some solid blue, and appliqued the stars that were cut from leftover squares from the patriotic mosaic quilt. The quilting on this one was based on a free motion design called "icicle lights" by Leah Day. I decided to do some free style fireworks in that middle pathway beside the stripes. All in all, this quilt, that almost wasn't, may be my favorite of the three.

So, when you have some interesting scraps, consider how they may become your next project. You may surprise yourself, too!
