JanRN...you have mastered all those things you would have avoided 6 months ago. Really well done, beautiful blocks.
QNSue...I've modified where I can have fewer seams too. With the FC, I liked the checkered look but I did it by sewing strips of the alternating colors together, pressing well and cutting into the correct width.

Thanks all for your kind comments. You are all so very encouraging

Here are mine. Paper piecing, fussy cutting, and Y-seams (oh my!). Six months ago I'd have passed by these blocks. Yinz have all encouraged me and taught me to do all these things. Ok, so I cheated and re-drafted Friendship Star to avoid the y-seams.
JanRN ... you nailed those perfectly! Everything about them ... colours, contrasts, FC, PP!! How brilliant with your star fabric within the FStar as it really makes it sparkle forth.

What beautiful blocks all.

anael, what great cowboy fabric. Nice job of FC.

QuiltingNinaSue, again your creativity shines. Flying clouds looks amazing! Love all the different fabrics in FS, especially the girl with pigtails. Great job on both!

mirabelle, oh such beautiful blocks and such nice work!

QuiltE, your FC makes me feel like I'm up in the sky. FS is just so cute! Great job on both. Love the blue sashing.

JeanieG, very pretty shades of blue you used in FC. I really like your FS. I can still see the star AND the block looks so different. Amazing how that happens. Nice job on both!

Gardnergal970, your FS reminds me of a beautiful field of wild flowers. FC looks just great, very pretty. I too had to keep my eye on which fabric went where.

JanRN, love the blue and white you used in FC, one of my favorite color combos, and great fussy cutting. The stars really are beaming in FS. Great job on both. I don't blame you about those dang Y seams.

My flying clouds is done and hope to have friendship star done today. Will post then.

DDamsel ... another great pair!! Well done on the check within the tiny blocks. The beige in the FS print adds nicely to the mix and oh how that navy/white barbed wire pops the star out!

Termi ... they were fun to do. I'll be looking forward to seeing your pair when you are ready!

Deranged Damsel - those blocks turned out beautiful. Especially like the dark blue in FS, wish my "star" had stood out in mine!
