Stars and Waterwheels ~ Summer is Here

Here is my Day 5 pincushion for the 

Pincushion Parade Blog Hop @ DayBrook Designs

Today's pattern was this lovely 

Sawtooth Star Pincushion 

@ Lois & Clark Connection

I added a pieced back to this pincushion with some of my scraps.

I had these Summery Fabrics out to make a block for a 

friend who won a block lotto.

The block of the month was this

New Waterwheel Block @ Quilters' Cache
and we were to use a white background with fabrics that said ocean or lake to us.
This fabric design is called  "Seafloor Garden"
and the color is "marine."
This was an easy block to make.

Quilters' Cache shows a layout alternating the New Waterwheel with a  54/40 Star Block

I am trying to decide if I want to make more blocks for me
before I put this fabric away.

Maybe I will leave the fabric out for awhile and see what happens.
