Star Surround Quilt A Long

I saw this great quilt at the Happy Quilter blog. I've made some of her other quilts, but typically after the fact. When I saw one of the color palettes and thought about my stash, I decided to try and quilt a long... So, I took 9 blue and green fabrics from my stash, plus a few whites for the background...

 The next week, was cutting. Here are my stacks. The stack in the very back are the leftovers...

 And finally this weekend, I caught up. Here are my 9 stacks of 1/2 square triangles. I used the little .5 inch square ruler to square them up. This week, I'm going to try and not wait until the last minute to do the step...

And here' the rest of the cut squares ready for whatever comes next...
