My Italy Surprise

My daughter just got back from Italy and sent me a nice little gift. I now have more fabric for my stash and if you think I have a big fabric stash you should see my earrings. I can add these 2 beauties to my collection.

I now have the other owl quilt put together and almost ready for the frame. I still need to find the time to mark it. 

And you talk about a bust. I spent my weekend working on these star blocks. I made 2 of each - one for my block swap partner and one to use for a clock. I'm not happy with either one.
So what do you do with something that doesn't work out - trash it ??
I definately won't be using these for anything - I ashamed to even think that I made them.

I can probably use this one but it's 16" from tip to tip. Maybe I can do some flying geese around it and use it as a starting point for a new quilt top
And to top it all off I'm having trouble with my blog. When I look at it it lists all the post then lists all the gadgets on the sidebar underneath. It isn't doing it for anyone but me (sounds like a song). I would love to know what I've done.

I'm sorry????.....Why are these star blocks a bust???? They look amazing to me! Perfect in every way! I'm not seeing anything wrong with them!

Oh, and those earrings and fabrics are beautiful! Yay!

Your owls quilt is gorgeous! The pinwheel border makes it really special.
