Tomorrow is back to work, so today was my last chance to spend a large chunk of the day sewing - so I did! I did lots of stuff, including a few things I won't show today - I'll save them for later in the week when I've not even been in the room...
One thing I did was do the January round of the Oh My Stars Block of the Month from Planet Patchwork - I actually looked yesterday morning to see if the round 3 instructions were up yet, and at the point I looked, they weren't. But they were there today, so I've done this piece to add to my Christmassy star sampler.
I also put together the snowball and nine-patch blocks from yesterday. Don't they make a nice little baby quilt? I'm pleased with the top and will put it away either until someone has a baby or until I decide to make it into a charity top. Not sure which it will be yet.
And just in case you wondered, here's what the scrap basket looks like at the end of the day today:
Still pretty empty, but as you can see, scraps are accumulating. I think I'm going to add a photo slot in my sidebar - "State of the Scrapbasket"...

Love the nine patch and snowballs. I have 1.5 inch squares of blues hand sewn into a 13m length which were going to sky for a Christmas tree, but didn't work, I think I'm going to copy your idea if that's ok. Nice bit of hand sewing for in front of the tv

Hope your first day back wasn't too stressful. I hate it when work interfers with stitching time ;)The Snowball top is adorable, here we are only a few days in to the year and you have a quilt top made already!
I really like that snowball and nine-patch quilt top - I may have to give that a try!!
