A-13, Starlight - Starbright (21 pieces). I used
Anina's tutorial again, which included learning how to do
freezer paper foundation piecing. It was complicated, but I'm really happy with the outcome. The only way I differed in making this block was to machine applique the outer frame down to the center piece. This meant that I had to applique the white sections first, then change thread and do the small black triangles. (You can see the needle holes from the basting, but I think those will go away over time.)
How did I find time to do all this? My in-laws were visiting, and Leah's grandma just couldn't get enough of her! I got to do lots of pre-baby activities, including seeing a movie with my husband, knitting on the sock that's been languishing, and going out to a fancy dinner for our 6th wedding anniversary. Many thanks to a patient grandma for this relaxing weekend!
Here's the DJ Tally:

Lovely block. I'm so glad you had the opportunity to do some grown-up activities knowing the baby was in good hands.

Woot! Yay for grandma! :) The block is lovely.
