Whitepine - I love your block - very nice variation in the colors - I really do like it...

I don't know what you mean....I think your star is beautiful, love the color blending.

jigs1354 06-23-2011 03:50 PM

Where did you find that pattern??it's very nice, I like the colors Was more paper pieced like the center block. I really love those colors...all of them and all your blocks are very pretty even though some of the "tips" don't show, at first I thought it was suppose to be that way. Still very pretty and different too. I wouldn't change a thing. We like it!!!

Finally got around to making my June chocolate Star.

Thank you "Quiltinghere" for selecting this great pattern. Of course I love pp, but this Courthouse Star is certainly a block I would consider making into a large quilt, maybe each star in a different set of colors. The possibilities are probably endless.

Beautiful chocolate star! I too love paper piecing! :thumbup:

Thank you Nickylsf. All of my stars are chocolate. Sure is turning out to be a great quilt.

Star light, Star bright.....

June's start is not perfect but it's done!

I didn't realize the center section printed small until after I had all the fabric on it.....So I added an extra round of green.

Lesson learned:
Measure your print-outs first to make sure they are the correct size BEFORE you start sewing. Duh! I usually do :oops:

I think it worked out in the end. Wouldn't have on some patterns though!

I think it looks WONDERFUL and would not have known that the number of rounds is different.

NICE JOB

I managed to finish my star block this afternoon. Just in time for the new house block on the 1st of July.

JeanieG 06-27-2011 01:07 PM

Ohhh love that rose color in your block!

Thank you. It seems it takes me much longer to do a PP block than just regular piecing, but the good thing is it makes my mind work. LOL

Here is my June block, and also my six blocks together!

whitepine 06-27-2011 07:24 PM

Both are very striking. This is really fun to see the entire groups and see how they are progressing.

JeanieG 06-27-2011 08:35 PM

Love your colors Crlyn

violetsfarm 06-28-2011 05:22 AM

FloralFab - Like the rose, blue and white.
Jeanie G. Your stars have really come together.
I read once that blue is the most popular color selected for making quilts.
Everyones quilt blocks are just outstanding. Who would ever imagine quilters could get so many color combinations out of the same patterns.

Love your blocks. Blue is such a peaceful color. You are going to have a beautiful quilt!

Floralfab 06-28-2011 01:41 PM

Violetsfarm: Your block is really good looking. So many different variations of this block and all are great.

cherylmae 06-28-2011 10:22 PM

Wow that is going to be one heck of a beauty when it is completed.
