Seeing this block and QuiltingNina sue's - I really like the reds together instead of alternating.

Thank you Podunk Princess, stepping a little outside my comfort zone for this one, as other on this thread will attest to I love florals especially roses.

paperpieceme Ilove your roses fabric

It's so interesting how the placement of the fabrics and the different values of the fabric can change the look of this block so dramatically. I could make a quilt using just this one block! I'm re posting a picture of my Alabama block however after looking at everybody's block I decided to change the center fabric to a pinkish batik. I been waffling on my fabrics since this thread started. Here's my version 1 Alabama. Will post version 2 when it's done, maybe tonight. [ATTACH=CONFIG]455046[/ATTACH]

Hi

I was not sure on the colours I picked at first but after completing my first star I am very happy with the colours, I have completed 1,2,4,8, and they went together with no trouble I sat and sewed and unpicked number 3 that many times last night till I got 1/4 of it done, getting the colours right and the pattern correct, I hope this is the nly one I have trouble with.

Oh what nice eye candy! I love what everyone has done with this star. I have two more pieces and I can put mine together, I like what I see with mine so far! They seem to go together quickly, I am doing mine 8".

It's OK. The first one is always the most difficult.
