Moonwork so sorry to hear about your dad. Yes family comes first. I hope he has a speedy recovery. He is in my prayers.
Pokerdiva all of my fabrics in the points were what I had to use in my block. Everything but the background fabric. I wanted something interesting but it had to work with 5 inch squares. I think the fabric I have chosen for my maine block is all bright batiks. I cant remember but I think they are all different. I have all of my blocks cut out, I am just a few behind on assembly. I am putting the binding on the baby quilt and need to finish a table runner that is for mothers day. The t-shirt quilt is ready to layer and quilt. Hope to work on the stars next week.
