The weather

 at the first of the month was not nice.  It was hot, it was humid and we didn't go anywhere -- well unless you count the basement where it was rather nice.

I decided to sort my fabric one day and make kits up.  For some I designed new patterns, for one I knew it was going to be easy going.

I finished up the coasters in a short period of time -- like in a really short period of time

and once they were done and the fabric was finally gone, I opted to start another project after designing it on EQ7.  No I never upgraded to 8, 7 does it all for me.
I'm calling this one Starry Checks as one of the fabrics has stars - Wolly Stars and the other is a plaid.  Guess I better come up with another name.  Dang, I thought it was checks!  Plaid Stars???
This is the pattern I designed but I actually didn't have enough fabric so I ordered another 1/2 metre cuts of the two of them.  I definitely had enough for the centres of the blocks.  I have a solid blue for the backing and if needs be, I can add one of the fabrics that is used on the front.  With what is left-over from the new order I can get the binding out of it.  
Future sewing is ready to go.  Hopefully the weather turned by the time you read this.  I don't do well with heat and humidity.
