One Monthly Goal for August - Reboot

Up until yesterday I was no further along on the Star Crazy quilt, but I now have the top and bottom triangle borders finished. I tried to get this quilt finished in May, didn't happen. This month for my One Monthly Goal, I'm planning (again) to finish the top and get it quilted and bound. I really should be able to get this done!!

NOT part of my monthly goal is to finish the Two Step blocks. I have 24 more blocks to make, but they're quick.
Also want to make a few of these border blocks for a pineapple quilt I've been working on for ages....

....and a few of these scrappy rectangles blocks, which I've also worked on for ages. This is one of a series of scrappy one-patch quilts that I'd like to make. My Strip Tease quilts that I've made in the past also fit that criteria, all 45-degree diamonds.

For years now I've been cutting up my scraps into sizes and strips that I commonly use, and I have a big pile of these rectangles. These are cut 2" x 3-1/2". Never occurred to me until yesterday that these are perfect for leaders and enders. I can make a big pile of twosies, then sew them up into a block. They finish to 9", and I only have 20 put together so far, so I have a ways to go.
