Meanmom, love your newest stars. You are catching up fast. Your sashing is really going to add some zip and will really tie the stars together. I think I like the muted one better but can't wait to see a picture with the more colorful one. It's going to be gorgeous.

I was planning on making my sashing about an inch wide. I am leaning towards the more colorful one right now but I am still not sure. I am caught up, finally. I finished 2 stars last night. I was looking ahead at the rest of the stars. Most of them don't have too many pieces. I really dislike the West Virginia one. I sure hope it looks better in different colors.

Meanmom, Where and what is the New York Beauty group? I love that pattern. It was the first paper piecing I did.

I am slowly doing the ones I missed this summer. Here's Nebraska and a song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc3On...eature=related

Ditto that, Sue!

We are in Death Valley for an antique motorcycle riding event, but will be home Sunday evening to post my next star.

Also, I am almost done with the Floral Master OBW, just need a label, then I can post a pic of that. I have named it "Lucy in the Sky" after the Beatles' song that refers to the Girl with Kaleidoscope eyes.

Then, I am ready to start putting together my 49 Fab Stars!!! I bought some gold small floral fabric for the 3/4" QAYG sashing. First I will reposition the stars on the Virtual Quilt, to make sure I am happy with the placement.

Simply gorgeous! If I did these again, I would use a single background color... Just striking, Meanmom.
