Quossom and create, those are fabulous, and I love the purple and yellow and much as the black. They are outstanding.
sewnso - take a look at the quilts on p 22, you will see they have the 4-1/2" with the accompanying rectangles that contain the points sewn on. Your colors are great.
labeelady - love the bees in your A print! Very pretty blocks.

And now I will add my confession of stupidity along with my two cents worth. I am an idiot. I designed it. I made the prototype. Then in my infinite wisdom I decided to make a king quilt and away I went to the cutting table. Came up with a size of 6 of the 16-1/2" blocks wide by 5 of them wide. I am sewing away, after all the 9-patch are done and all the rectangles have their different colored star points on them .... and as I begin to plan my scrappy back, I realize I made 5 blocks more than needed, an extra row of the width. I am an idiot. So now the good news is that I have the major part for a charity quilt, the bad part is I need to take apart most of the last row. I repeat, I am an idiot.

*** FYI There is Decaff coffee and Belgian Truffles in the club car. ***I think it is time for a chocolate fix. I am a little behind as I have to finish resizing a Kilt by tomorrow. Almost done and then it's on to the border and stars. Love working on the train the motion is so relaxing.

If you are an idiot, then most of us can join you. I made 4 patches for a Bonnie Hunter quilt - when I was finished I had 48 left over. I made a donation quilt, but it didn't sell so I have a red and yellow quilt that is homeless. There are several other local donation sites it can go. I just haven't chosen one yet.
Loving all the step 2 quilts. Who would have thought big scraps would look so good??

Judy, can I use two fabrics of similar values if they totally different colors for A and B? It might be Spring by the time I finish this and the spring green and a light coral I came across look pretty together.

I finally can post a picture of my 9 patches. I was sure they were going to look awful with some of the colors I was using. But I like how it looks so far. I hope I can start the next step tomorrow night. I have 2 table runners to finish tonight. I have 7 finished and 2 more to quilt. One of the last 2 is mine. I have been making table runners for my mom for the last couple of years. I never know what to get her. SHe is 85. I think she has 10 now. She has fun playing with changing them and putting pretty stuff out of her china cabinet on them. I don't know what I am going to give her when I run out of table runners.

Doesn't sound like a problem. The main thing is that you are happy!
