Last block in green

It's Saturday and time to check in with Angela at soscrappy.  All year I've been making the blocks for a scrappy saw tooth star quilt and the final block has been stitched.

Swamp Angel forms the centre of the star. 

I made the Swamp Angel star block when I was first attempting some quilting and turned it into a pillow.  Of all the pillows I made at the time this was my least favourite.  (Can you figure when that was by the fabric and colour choices?)

You can see in my first attempt I didn't make the square in a square centre pop by using different colours.  I wanted to make the star the focus so made the square the same colour.   But in Angela's version I did make the distinction.   I thought I would like the block better in the smaller 6.5" format and done in a monochromatic colour scheme but .... no, Swamp Angel is not one of my favourite blocks.  Is it the colours I selected or the placement of those colours?  I don't know.  It just doesn't appeal to me.

I finished only one other small item in green.  This folded star technique made up into a cute little pincushion.  The second fabric I selected had a very rhythmic circles motif and when the rectangles were folded I didn't get a uniform colour distribution.  This fabric was to be the dark punch for the second round of star points but I have a mix of light green, white and dark green.  Had the motif been more random I  may have been able to manipulate it some.  Oh, well,  it's done and any finish is a good finish.
