Love the contrast in your block; very nice. The weather is looking better for our retreat. I head up there tomorrow. DH says if the temps are not high enough to suit him, then he insists he is driving me up there. What a valentine!!!!

I don't think you can make a mistake on this project. I have seen many photos of these quilts on the Carol Doak Yahoo Group. They look great whether you have a fabric theme or not!

I am doing 50 Fab Stars, the Farmers Wife Sampler, the 2012 BOM here, and finishing the 2011 BOM House quilt, and have not purchased any fabric to speak of except a FQ here and there. Yes!

Hello everyone! So glad I saw this posting. I just received the Carol Doak book from I Amazon. I have several of her other books too. I've recently taken up paper piecing and love it. I also belong to 3 other BOM's but I'm usually finished with those by the end of the 1st week. One block a week is a manageable goal. I love stars and these will make a beautiful quilt. I'l begin working on my blocks tomorrow & will post pictures as I complete them.

Welcome Patricia.... I've never paper pieced before and I'm loving this project. Just wished I did not have to work full time.... It takes away from my sewing time. Can't wait to see your stars.
