Lone Star day - post 3

 I've made good progress today.  I have cut out  224 red squares and 56 white squares, and finished making my HSTs, so then I decided to make some of the star blocks just to see what they looked like.  Then I went back to what I should have been doing , and cut the red borders.  I have only sewn on the top and bottom ones so far.

One thing that occurred to me today, after reading what Elizabeth had to say about her Lone Star progress, is that I am going to have to square this beast up 3 times!  I had to do it before adding the red borders,and again afterwards, to make sure the pieced border fits properly and I'll have to do it again at the end.  What was I thinking when I designed this?  I hate squaring up tops, largely cos I really don't have anywhere to lay it out properly (a round table is not the best place!).  I think I need to buy some lottery tickets so I can afford a mansion.

I am happy with my progress today, and happy with what I have achieved in the past 10 months.  Thanks specially to Jayne who co-hosts this and to Elizabeth who has been joining in with us every month. Now the new series of Strictly Come Dancing has just started, so if any one needs me, I can be found in front of the TV.
