Beth sent me one of her little houses the other day to play with,
today I used it for 15 minute play, in between quilting...
4 sessions of 15 minutes through out the day today has gotten me to this star...
I first started by making fabric to piece around it...and then I had a light bulb moment...
It wasn't a house, it's a school house!
It has little apples around it and stars like this in the borders....
And promised a quilt for the lower school library at my daughters school.
(she's in middle school now! LOL!) So I grabbed a fat quarter of BOOKS,
and wrapped that around it, and now I am off and running...
I would like to make some words to go around it, like READ,
or the name of her school, or maybe both... etc.... We'll see...
I ran to the mail box today, but no luck on more SCRAP-BEE blocks...
;-) maybe tomorrow... It's so fun to get mail!

What a great idea! I am so sure she will love it! I love the idea of words around it. Did you make that wedding ring too?
Ditto to Sujata's comment. Do tell about the red double wedding ring!
The double wedding ring is PINK!! no, I didn't make it... it's an oldie... AND a beauty!
The schoolhouse star is simply fabulous...love that book fabric.
Oooh! you're so creative!! I love it!
Love the school house block. I am a retired teacher. I just might have to make one too. I put your two blocks in the mail yesterday.
Love what you've got going there - interesting isn't it, how ideas are cooking in our subconscious and then pop! out they come! LOVE the dark star points!
This is a very cool way to use that little house. I do love stars.
