Very pretty, Katie. I love these too! Can't stop making them, even though I have other projects going.

Lol, I kinda thought the same of mine. That looks like "fairy frost" fabric in the center of yours. I love ff fabs. You have a nice block there.

Here is my block for the week.

I had to buy a new camera last week, and now that I have taken a few pictures, I find I need to return it. This is so washed out -- center is a vibrant two tone green, points are biright turquoise, and the moss green corners are the same fabric as I have used the last two weeks. Or well, one more thing to stand in line for!

As to the paper piecing, I had the pieces cut, which really only takes about 10 mintues, maybe? I timed making the block and it took me a hair less than two hours from the time I pinned on piece number one until I removed the paper, pressed it and squared it up.

Nice job Judy. Your are one speedy sewer. Sorry about your camera. What kind was it so I don't buy it cause I need a new one too.
