Thankfully I got a jump on ironing a backing fabric for the Clover Pillow right before the power went out (again) . Then I steam ironed it really well, thinking it was a fusible batting, nope. Out came the bucket o' safety pins and I was ready for stitching. I used a Hera marker to mark some diagonals.
The walking foot cah-chunked away. I always have to get used to the sound of it all over again. So ratchety.
Here's how it is looking after a few diagonals and all the other big seam lines stitched down.
I've got to think on how to accentuate these star-ish shapes between blocks, because that's my favorite part. They remind me a bit of those atomic mid-century star shapes.
I started out with the orange thread first, but I may add in some other colors.
Maybe some curving lines to highlight those stars? We'll see.

WOW! You are really moving along fast on that project. Great job. The quilting stitches look really great.
It's going faster now, that's for sure.
