Thanks for the kind comments, all!! I am frustrated that I did not check the size of my template once I printed and before I sewed, because it actually turned out 12" rather than 12 1/2" (even though I was leaving extra, thanks to a tip from a friend!). I have now fixed my template and printed off more, making SURE that my darn printer did not reduce it.

Here come more stars! :lol:

Judy, thanks again for all your help and support! That is now MY favorite star, too! :thumbup:

p.s.
I have to confess there is another reason I can't use this block in a swap.... I got a little impatient with the paper removal and tore the fabric along one seam. :oops: It is a tiny little tear, but really steams my seams! :x I may someday use it in a quilted bag or something.... where I can zig-zag over that little section without it being visible. I will have to be MUCH more careful / patient in the future!

Take a bow!!

Thanks, Dotty, but no bowing until I actually have at least ONE I can swap! :lol: (I hope to be taking that bow within the next hour or two. 8-) )

HI Corry, just wanted to let you know that your package was delivered on the day my husband took me to the hospital. May 3rd. I want to appoligize that I am late on your block by one month, but I finally got it sent out. Please let me know when you get your package. MY back surgery went well, I had a fussion done and I should be able to join in on my swap again in about 6 months. (DR's orders) This has been such fun and I cant wait to get back into it.You have a special gift inside along with your block. Blessings Barb Day
