Thanks, Ninnie. I've been playing with it a little this morning, swapping out some of the fabrics. DH has done some swapping of his own - we have those darn spiraly light bulbs everywhere and I really dislike them, the light is terrible IMO. So this morning I've been taking advantage of the natural light. Am squelching my desire to make sure no colors too close next to each other, etc. as this is to be scrappy, not planned. Now I am ready to start sewing.
I found this in the latest BHG American Patchwork & Quilting magazine; it arrived in Saturday's mail and I was reading it before bed that night. The original quilt, believed to be from the late 1800's, has 16 of these stars - with no duplication in fabrics! That's over 1,000 different fabrics. No (what's the word for quilt lineage?) ____ - maker unknown, date, etc.
b.zang - enjoy your shopping trip and your visit!

In the next day or two, I'm headed out to pick up grandkids and it will be a month-long invasion of the little people. My hope is to get into a good-sized LQS while in the big city and check out some BOM patterns as well. No sewing for me with a house full, so it will be planning time.

The birds are totally different from the pattern as I cut them wrong the first time but I like them better as the others were very dark.
This one will end up as a round centre on black.

I know, I'm really bummed to not be apart of the "original" group again but that will teach me to stay away for so long! And, next year I'll just have to be a little bit more engaged to be with all of you again!
Is everyone from the 1st group doing it together again?
