Girls,

I am a naughty girl as I have fallen off this set of blocks - having bought the book etc. I am finishing my Dear Jane and am doing the BOW of Sylvia's Bridal Sampler AND Loyal Union Sampler and had simply fallen by the wayside with "Stars" Next time around I hope !!!
I love watching ALL the wonderful blocks though and you are all inspiring me to do it in the future !!

I am back in the saddle again; right eye optic nerve decreased in size yesterday afternoon...a prayer answered...and I am feeling so blessed. Back on kitchen duties this day, for the first time since September. It is a wonderful day. I will probably start with current stars and work backward to the last one done.
One day at a time...or one hour at a time...this too shall pass. Never underestimate the power of prayer and trust in the One who watches over all of us..

I worked well ahead on these so I still have a few I can post when their "week" comes up. My 87 yr. old mother now lives with us and I will soon be watching my son and his wife's new born baby girl starting in mid June when they go back to work. I still plan to work on the blocks on the weekends as the mood hits me!!I really love paper piecing. It's a lot of work and messy but I find it very rewarding as a creative outlet.

Pretty blocks Jan
I got Maine done too. I tried to do it random like the sample in the books, but didn't have enough fabrics...oh well, I don't think it will stand out too much once in the quilt.

Hi
Jan i agree with you on runing out of ideas with the colours, with working with a set 11-12 colours sometime I think Iam doing the same colours combination over and over again, I have put together a sheet every time I make a block and take it photo I put it on this sheet then look at it before cutting out the next months blocks to make sure I am mixing my colours up enough.
Here is my Maine block this month.
