Red/White/Blue Interlocking Stars - top finished!!

I can't believe I completed the top this week. It seemed like I was making the star point blocks for days and days...and then, once I settled on a layout and size, I started sewing...and then found out I had to make more. YIKES!

Here is my top:

Isn't it pretty??! I love it! I got more and more excited as the top came together. I used a PowerPoint file for the layout. The top is 20x20 squares, and is 40 inch square. It took me awhile to get in the groove and by the time I had pieced the 20 rows, I just wasn't that motivated... but the next night I sewed rows into 2s and things started shaping up. After that I got more and more excited until the top was done on the 13th. I did end up with some extras... so I made this:

This took up 24 squares. I didn't have enough extra to make this any bigger, but I do have some more of the star points... I did still have tons of the red, white, and blue blocks, so I also made these last night:

These are Granny Square blocks and I've seen them popping up on blogs everywhere this year. I think I have enough to make one more block... Not sure what I'll do after that with them, but they are easy and fun.

Now I have to figure out what the next project will be... I think I'd going to work with some other colors for awhile!!
