No sewing done beyond the blocks, but I wanted to show how this looks with very subdued fabrics and the values in the star block reversed. My A-D fabrics were light, so I had to go dark with E. I think I'll have to replace my I fabric; it's really glaring at me. Second photo shows something less light/bright in top I position.
Fabulous block, Jeanne S! I love those grays. I will have the same issue with my star points.
Judy, thank you for a beautiful pattern and great directions. It was so helpful to have those photos!
