Thank you. I like it, but then, like Alex, I like brights, though I do not like blue. Did you catch the tropical strips? Alex's graduation party was tropical and we had a good time so I had to add that fabric for him.
The little Friendship Stars are made by adding a HST to each end of the sashing strip and matching the cornerstone to the HSTs. For some reason, they came out perfect. I must finally have learned to sew a even 1/4" seam. Coming for an apparel sewing background, learning to be exact has been an issue for me.
My dessert for dinner was so good, I want more. I have a good friend who has moved away who could eat three bites of anything and be satisfied. She contended the rest tasted the same, so why bother. Obviously, she isn't a compulsive overeater. I never get full. When I get caught up on my birthday quilts, I am going to go see her. 50 miles isn't that far.
