Poker Diva, I may start doing that. Or cutting much larger than the sizes given. I had trouble with #7 more than once. Janet My, I am already best friends with my ripper, have been for many years. I even had to use tape to keep the paper together. Anyway, this is great fun and I am so impressed with everyone's beautiful interpretation of the same patterns.

Okay here is my Alaska block, better late than never. It took me a long time to put together and I managed to consistently shave off the same tip but I figured out why it was happening and hope my Arizona block will be better. Not sure the colors will come through but they are blue/purples and the light background has a rich lavender color to it.

Here's Arizona. This one went together very fast for me. [ATTACH=CONFIG]303706[/ATTACH]

These are outstanding! Thanks for sharing.

Here is Alabama, Alaska and Arizona. If I can get them to load. I got a late start but sure enjoying making the stars. I'm trying for a southwestern color scheme.

Whitepine, your block is beautiful
CA deb - wow you are all caught up great job. The colors you chose are really bright and beautiful!

Mona Lisa, what happened? Your star didn't load or are you playing with us?

So many pretty blocks!!!! Good work, girls.

Deb, your blocks look great together!

Whitepine, I like your interpretation of the Arizona -- leaving out that little piece and instead bring down the fabric in the edge of the point. Wish I had thought of it! Much cleaner look to the star.
