I love the quilt and all the scrap color. I am trying to figure out your discription- did you use all of a JL or what do you mean by JL star points? If only a portion of the block-what part and how did it work?

I really looks awesome.
Yes, I used all of a JL and all of a BB. What I mean by JL star points is I call this whole block a star block because when I look at the JL, I see stars. Look at the intersection of the JL and with your eyes follow all the HST's around the block and you'll see a 'star' form. You have to look hard. Do you see it? So I alternate this 'star' block with the BB's 12 4P's that form when 4 sections are joined and that's a 4P block. So the big 4P block is then alternated with the 'star' block. That's how I joined it all and alternated it all. Does that make sense now? On page 4, for quick reference, you can click on my links of the 2 blocks so you can see each one separately. I'll go get the links and add them here. Hope that helps! I hope you see the stars like I do. It just helps me identify what I'm doing by naming the blocks. Thank you, starshine, for that great question! Maybe it will help someone else too!

Here's the 2 blocks so we can use our imagination in how it would look merging them! I always thought there was a Road to Arkansas, but there's not so included the pic of Arkansas Crossroads. That would be interesting mixed with JL too! Here are the links so we can all imagine:

Thank you so much, jaciqltznok!!

here's the BB bl:

JFYI, the BB block has (4) 4P's that come together; mine has 12 4P's!

So it's a lot bigger! Hope you can see the stars -- they are so pretty! n2
