OK, I'm going to oooh and aaah you all because you all deserve it!!

Honchey, Love your country lanes. It reminds me of King of the Road. I like that you slipped a cowboy and horse in there. Great job.

JeannieG, great job and great colors!! I hope my cowboy star comes out half as good as yours. It's a challenge.

QuiltE, Wow, your cowboy star looks perfect and what great colors!!! I like the cowboys on the country lanes, great fabric.

anael, beautiful colors in both blocks and WOW to your cowboy star!!! Great job!!

mirabelle, what cute star fabric in country lanes. Love your color combo in cowboy star. Great job on both!!

JanRN, I give you a WOW on your cowboy star, nice points, nice contrast. Great job on both and beautiful colors!!

ArteEmCasa, great fabric, I like the horse and carriage on the country lanes. WoW on your cowboy star, very striking. love that star fabric. Nice job on both!!

wendiq, Great job on both!! Looks like you conquered cowboy star, love the colors!!

oksewglad, beautiful colors in both blocks. Nice wildflower fabric on country lanes. I would say you definitely conquered cowboy star. The two blocks look great together!!

gardnergal970, Beautiful fabrics in both blocks. I give you a WOW for country star, looks like you conquered it. Nice job on both!!

I only have country lanes done. For some reason I'm having a hard time picking fabrics for cowboy star, hmmmm.
Plus, I think it'll take me a long time to do it. Will post it sometime in the future.

Termi...love the choo choo's and flowers. Xoxoxoxoxo!

Such cute trains rolling across the "hills". Notice how they give movement to the block--if they were on straight tracks, the block would be more stiff and formal.

Those trains on the country lanes are lovely :D

Ooh & aah right back at ya!! That block is so cute-love it.

Great blocks this week, I am always here reading the posts but most of the time Windows kicks me out when I am trying to post a reply. Then I just get frustrated after typing my message three times and it still won't let me chat.
Don't know what gremlins are at work, I love seeing everyones blocks each week. I have picked Sunday as my PC day so tomorrow I am working on the next 2.
Have a great weekend everyone

I am late to the party because I've been away being gramma for two weeks, but I must say I love all the blocks.

I can't get over how much I like all your blocks, the fabrics have me drooling. I am daunted by the cowboy star and am very impressed by all of the ones I see here. Good on ya everybody!

Termi.....We ALL love those darling choo choo's......just too cute......perfect use of that fabric. And the "x's" look just like RR crossing signs.......SO CUTE! As for the Cowboy Star, don't let all the talk scare you. I did it before I knew I should dread it....LOL! Like I said before, "guess I'm weird", but I really didn't have a problem and I pp'd it......and from what I'm seeing, any fabric combinations look good.....:)

Playing catch up here! (and my apologies if I miss someone!

OKSGlad ... as always, your fabrics are so nicely coordinated, and seem to give a calming effect. I see your another one who creatively went for organization! Like how you did 2+2 for the star points. I "almost" did that, then jumped back to total organization! :)

ArteEC ... now there's a Cowboy's Star if we ever saw one! A star shining brightly in a field of stars. Well done!

GGal ... for some reason I am now going down that Country Lane and singing ....

Gee thanks for the earbug ... but it's fun!! :)
The Cowboy Star fabrics are really helping give that block motion. I see that OKSGlad has already spotted that paisley .... better put it under lock and key!! :)

Giggles ... yes I'm giggling at all the FART chatter! Looks like Evie and Sis have that one down to the best! And good for you JanRN for your FARTs ... a gal's gotta do what a gal's gotta do! And bonus points to DH for just not asking! :)

I sometimes do FARTs solo ... no one to slow me down or try to speed me up when I'm wanting more time. I love doing Shop Hops that are at a distance that way ... my mini holiday with a sleepover or two, and the ability to just stop or change course whenever, wherever catches my eye ... fabrics, antiques, whatever!!!

OKSGlad ... for those amputee PP parts, I keep a roll of painter's tape at the sewing machine for bandaids! You can iron over it without problems ... whereas scotch tape melts, and can make a real mess!

Termi ... Great train fabric. OKSGlad beat me in saying how the "rolling" trains give such nice movement to the block.

Reminds me of farm and my current home ... our first farm that we rented had a major train line along the north boundary of the farm; the farm we later purchased had the same train line at the boundary of our next-farm neighbour; and my current home, has the same tracks on the back edge of my property. So I've lived with trains for sometime ... and hardly even noticed them now, even though it's a busy line. It's the line that runs from Toronto thru to Sarnia/Port Huron, and onwards to North Indiana and then Chicago, etc. So I guess I could always hop that train to head off to visit many of you! :)

OOPS! .. forgot to say THANK YOU EVERYONE for all the kind words for my offerings this week.
