Check out Blocks Galore on Quilters cache. There are many listed at the beginner level and different sizes too :D:D:D

I've checked out the site and really like it. Perhaps you can tell me what the stars next to some patterns mean. I understand the pins, because they are explained, but was unable to find an explanation for the stars! I think this site will be VERY helpful, so thanks again. Snipper
