Quilt Along Joy and Other Fabric Shenanigans

I joined Southern Charm Quilts and Havel's Sewing for their Little Miss Sawtooth Quilt Along just for the heck of it.  Something crafty with a bit of direction to keep me in the fabric game while in the throes of heavy duty school demands. But then I started collecting fabric for the project, and my creative juices began to surge with the potential of it.  I especially loved the idea of choosing bright and bold fabrics instead of the low volume prints that so many participants in the quilt project showcase. And then the first blocks were released, and, holy cow, am I hooked! I'm not sure what it is about this quilt along, but it's been so much FUN!  I think part of that is the fact that you just can't go wrong with star blocks.  Who doesn't love a star block? The quilt along called for completed flying geese blocks the first week, but I decided to complete them with each block instead.  I wasn't ready to commit to the star point colors y
