Thread: 50 Fab Paper-Pieced Stars

Sounds very pretty, mm.

my foundations are all ready- i've decided to use a black background on all of them- think i'm going kind of scrappy for the (body) of the stars- but sticking to blues, maybe purples, greens...but we shall see that can certainly change as we go along
i have a couple other things going on this weekend (we do our family get together at my mom's on New Years Day every year) so, i'm still pulling things together for that---once tomorrow is done- i can finally say -- ok Christmas is over- i can now move into the new year---
but the plan is in motion- and as for layout--- i kind of like the idea of adding the 6 extra blocks---so i will have 56 ---i like the on-point idea too---only time will tell=with me my (plan) changes dozens of times during the creation of each and every quilt before they finally turn into a finished project but i am going to do the 6 extras---

I have my first block finished except for taking off the paper. I just used fabrics that I had on hand. Who knows, I might just change my mind on other fabrics. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blessings!
Carole

Good morning, all, and Happy New Year. I may just get to start the second block today.
