Stars for Mickey

The stars for Ghost Party are a bit of a pain, so even though I only needed one for Mickey, I made more (to get it over with…)  

These don’t get trimmed up til I’m ready to sew them in the block

They’re kinda cute. And - surprise - batch sewing makes them easier. So now I’m thinking I should make more than I planned?? I may never get this quilt done…

But progress is being made. Mickey and his sparkly eyes are done, giving me three of the nine blocks I need.

 Not their final placement

The next Birdwatchers Project block comes out tomorrow, so that’s what I’ll be doing this weekend. Still hoping to get the ghosties to my long-arm quilter pal before the end of this month. Any bets on that?
