Hello Mona Lisa,

I wasn't sure if your message was for me, but I'll respond to it since I complete about 4-6 of the Star blocks a week depending on what other things I have going on. So I am probably way ahead of most of the members of this post.

I'm retired (2 yrs now) and have time to enjoy the things I love doing. PP is my new love or is it an obsession? I want to finish these Star blocks so I can put them together for a quilt for my bed. I find it very relaxing to do these blocks. I also participate in a Round Robin, 2 BOM at my local quilt store and 2 BOM online, in addition to working in my vegetable garden and with my roses (I have about 15 different rose bushes). I also do volunteer indexing of records for 2 online family tree sites. So I guess you can say, I like to stay busy.

I hope no one is upset or offended by my posting my completed blocks because that isn't my intent. I only want to share what I have completed.

I'm not offended just curious. I say GOOD for you. I have recently
become a widow and I need to get back into a routine.

Thank you for responding. So sorry for your loss. I hope things go well for you. I'm sure you have the love & support of your family & friends, but you also have that with this group. Keeping you in my prayers.

Boy, Patricia Faye -- I'm thinking of begging for some southern hospitality and send you my blocks to catch me up....Work has been overwhelming lately and I am drained when I come home so my blocks have sat on the table collecting dust bunnies. Since they are for "me" I guess there's no time crunch and they'll get done when I get to them.

I really enjoy seeing all the blocks -- it's a nice highlight of the day :)

moonwork42029, I worked over 30 yrs in the financial industry & had little time for me, so I completely understand about being drained after a day at work. I have LOTS of ME TIME now. Look what you have to look forward to!

Here are the blocks I completed this week:
(Row 1) Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri (Row 2) Montana, Nebraska, Nevada

My favorite is Minnesota.

Minnesota is nice, but my other favorite is Nebraska. Good work!

You all are doing fabulously beautiful work! Thank you for sharing. :thumbup:

Is it Sunday yet? It's great fun watching your progress.

well i finally finished my Illinois block---so i can start my Indiana in the morning- it was a busy week- but decided i really didn't want to fall behind so put that first today :)
far from perfect- took it apart 3 times & decided i'm making it worse---so it is what it is.
it's the first one of my (grouping) that is red/white & blue- i really like this one- wish i had done a better job of it...anyhow- it's done- moving forward ;)

I think it is a wonderful color combination.

Oh, my goodness! My week has been all turned around & for some reason I thought today was Sunday. Now to get back on track. Have a great weekend everyone!

I love your colors & you did do a good job on it. I struggled with the Illinois block too. Some of the blocks are more challenging than others : )
