Have you started a picture thread yet?

Thanks for the lovely block. Your looks gorgeous. I have mine printed and will be working on it this weekend. Thanks for posting.

That is a beautiful block. Love the Christmas fabric.

I'm in, guess I'll be doing lots of PP in the coming year - also joined PokerDiva's PP group from Carol's 50 stars book. We're going to be 'smoking' in 2012 with our machines.

Your block is very pretty...thank you. I just printed the pattern and will be working on it very soon.

Great star, thank you. I love Carol Doak patterns. I am so far behind, but will definately make this star, probably in January.
