That’s a great star block!
I’m slowly working on a wall quilt made from the scraps of Ada’s baby quilt. It will be a thank you gift for our fertility doctor. It’s a simple Carpenter’s Wheel, made of 3” HST’s.

-I MistressJennie submit this as my current June BOM entry.
Another one for the Halloween quilt pile! I’m proud of managing to get this one done in little bits at a time, usually during Ada’s naps. Spending 20 minutes cutting pieces one day, 15 minutes making HST’s the next morning, turning some of the HST’s into QST’s in the afternoon, etc. All in all, I think it took 4 days to put together. Nothing like my usual speed, but satisfying none the less.
Also fun fact: The black fabric with the pumpkins was actually from a bandana that my dog came home wearing from the groomer’s last fall. They are usually always quilting cottons, with pinked edges, and I’ve had them all stashed in her drawer of dog stuff, but decided to see if I could use some of them up in various ways. Many are dog-themed prints, bones, paw prints, etc, that I have no idea what I’ll do with. But some are things like girly dinosaurs, or dinosaur/tacos wearing sombreros. (My groomer loved that we were calling Ada Godzilla while pregnant, so she kept finding dinosaur kerchiefs to use.) Now I just wish I could find some more of it, because it’s a pretty cute fabric.

Maybe you could use the doggy prints to make Astrid a bed in the kitchen. She made it very clear that she needs one.

Love that you are squeezing crafting into the nooks and crannies of your life! I always think of the motivational exercise phrases when it comes to maintaining hobbies during parenthood - modify if you have to, but don’t you quit! Go you!
