Scrappy yellow goodness

Fabric lettuce.
Did you start the year off with a stash challenge?
There are several stash challenges going on right now. Some of my friends are doing them and I decided to play along, but using a block I designed for the challenge. I have about a million 2.5" squares, so I colorized some of them first. (I might make some color/scrappy ones later but wanted to start with colorized blocks.  I had used some blacks and grays in a different scrappy style quilt, so I thought using them for the stars would make a nice contrast to the other colors and hopefully show up with most colors.
It might bother some quilters that the background in the star points doesn't match the rest of the block, color wise. We all like a different level of scrappy.
I found a few baggies of squares that I had used as leaders and enders, so I have a bunch of them that are already sewn into pairs and sets of 4. That is making the last few blocks quicker to sew. I think I might have more somewhere, as I was taking them with me when I went to sew with friends. Plus I know I have some other colorized blocks I made as a start to a different project and they are hiding somewhere. I know what the plastic tub looked like....
Here are a few blue blocks that I made last week.  I have about 20 blocks done so far in assorted colors.
