Today is the second Saturday of September of the color black.
I missed last week's link up so I am doubling up today.
Here are my Mary's Happy Blocks.

My Pointless (Villa Rosa Designs) is completed.
I don't think I ever shared my Birthday Challenge quilt for September birthdays that I made last spring. I wanted to make a wall hanging for September and wanted to adapt Villa Rosa Design's Pointless pattern. Here is my fabric draw.
Here are my pencils on the light blue background.
I also wanted to make placemats in the September Back-to-School theme. Here are my letters for the placemats.
After a quick breakfast with DD, it will be time to get on the road and travel back to Bell Creek Quilts. A shout out to my wonderful Wisconsin quilty friends that attended my lecture to support me! You all are the greatest! 💚💛💚
My 'stuff' seems to have exploded in the back of my SUV... All the luggage now has quilts plus there is a layer of quilts on the folded middle row of seats. Note to self: make smaller quilt to illustrate the lecture in future trunk shows.
The RSC color of September is black...not sure that I am liking the black background to the blog...
I made it to the Great Wisconsin Quilt Show!
Before I left, I finished piecing the Staggered Stars quilt. It's here with me in Wisconsin. Once I had the blocks made, it didn't take too long to finish putting it together. I like how the red/blue are opposite each other to add a bit of interest.
I'm pretty much packed and ready to head out to the Great Wisconsin Quilt Show!
It's about a 6 hour drive but I will be stopping along the way. One good thing is that Wisconsin is on Central Time and Michigan is on Eastern Time...
I worked more on the Single Scoop Ice Cream quilt. Truth be told...I did follow the paper piece pattern for the cone and side angles. Then I switched to traditional piecing for the remaining 7 scoops !
I added an inner white border.
I wanted to add an outer border of the diamond fabric but I didn't have enough. It's a pretty old print so buying more is not an option. :(
I settled on a partial border with the strawberry pink print. Maybe not the best, but I am sorta liking it. This is as far as this one is going, into the suitcase for the trip to the Great Wisconsin Quilt Show!

I had wanted to make this crumb star quilt that I found on Pinterest, awhile back.
But as sometimes happens, it morphed into a similar yet different quilt.
Oh no! I discovered a few missing pieces to my quilt lecture.
One piece is a paper piecing sample! I've been wanting to make this Single Scoop Ice Cream Cone pattern for a very long time. It was originally published by QuiltMaker in 2005 as part of Project Linus. Now is the perfect time to try paper piecing again...
Here are the first few scoops.
