Here is my block. I hope all of you have fun with it. I can hardly wait to see all of the variety you can come up with.

that is beautiful

nice!

so, is this the new bom star? where is the pattern?

Jerrie1940,
I absolutely LOVE it!! What a nice job you have done making your star block. I sure hope I can do as well!!
:D :D :D :D

Beautiful. I can't wait to see what we come up with either!

My brain is thinking how I can do this with only 2 colors. May have to add a color or two. Beautiful star.

Beautiful!

What size does the block end up being when completed? Thanks :)

Beautiful, just finished printing the pattern. Can hardly wait to everyone's block.

Beachlady:

Maybe you can use the reverse side of your two fabrics. This can add two more values to your design. The reverse side usually is lighter and sometimes just as beautiful as the "right" side.

You know there will be variety! Looking forward to seeing everyone's creations. I'm always amazed.

Beautiful.

I'm with you...neeeeed a pattern!

It's a 12" block when finished.

Very pretty. Looking forward to seeing what everyone does with this one.

Since I had the pattern from Jerrie early, I made two of the stars. The first one I did was regular paperpiecing. The second I used the freezer paper method where you don't stitch through the paper but fold it and stitch right along side the paper. I have decided that is my favorite way to do paperpiecing. I have always hated removing the paper, and with the freezer paper method you don't have to. And, you don't even have to use freezer paper. You can just pin your pattern to the first piece of fabric and away you go. I think this is a beautiful, beautiful star.

Thanks Judy for explaining the different methods. I saw that someone had put "regular PP" and wondered what the other way was. I am going to try the freezer paper method for the same reason you gave. I don't like ripping out paper either. Thanks!

Jerrie1940, beautiful block.

Judy, both blocks are great. Love the color combinations.

Blocks are beautiful. Now I am really intimidated.

Wowzer, those are both beautiful. Upon first glance this star intimidated me a little, but when I looked at the templates, I realized it wasn't going to be as difficult as I imagined. :) Now to pick out which of my B&W fabrics I want to us and get started!

Unfortunately, I think I have to clean the house first...>_<

Don't be intimidated. It is not a hard block at all, just looks that way.

JudyG..........I love your pp'ing Stars for Feb 15th!! :D You have done a marvelous job making them. I can't wait to start on mine. Wish me luck!!
:D :D :D :D

Thanks, Sulabug. This was a fun star to work on. I was a little intimidated when I saw the picture, but when you start working with the template, it's really quite simple. I do wish you luck, but I know you won't need it. I've seen your work, and it's beautiful.

Now I have to get busy on that Farmhouse - talk about intimidating. :roll:

It has a few problems but I got it done. Here is my star block.

I will just look with awe for now. I am tackling triangles and pulling my hair out. These points look harder.

Absolutely gorgeous, PokerDiva. I love your colors (as you can see from mine, I love blue). Didn't take you any time at all. Good job!

Don't be afraid of it. The paperpiecing sure makes getting good points easier.

I am glad to see some already made, the pattern looks a little easier seeing them. thanks.

Thank you Judy, you are a great help to everyone.

Very pretty star block. Boy I'm really learning to paper piece between the star bom and the house bom.

Both of your blocks are beautiful. Hope mine will look half as good.

PokerDiva your block is just beautiful. Thanks for sharing. It gives me hope.

Beautiful!!

This is a lovely star block, looking forward to doing it.

Judy and PokerDiva, your blocks are beautiful, love your choices of colours! :thumbup:

PokerDiva, your block turned out great!!!! Love your color choices. Great job!!

Thanks everyone. It's not perfect but it's mine.
