In spite of having massive computer problems, my patterns printed great. Can't wait to get started. Love this new Star.
|
WOW over 900 views and only 4 or 5 posts in the last 24 hours.
I guess everyone is waiting for us to post a block! :) |

Although this block was a lot of fun, I don't think it adapted very well to my BOM color theme.

Michelle and Mona Lisa, I love both of your stars. I'm not sure why you don't think it works with your colors, Mona Lisa. I think it's beautiful.
|
Both your stars are darling!
|
Oooh, pretty. Both of them! It's such a crisp, striking look.
|
There both lovely, well done!
I've printed my pattern, trying to decide on colours now! |
WOW are those ever neat!! Great job!
|
come on where are your block I thought there would be more that just 2 by now. It is a very easy PP once you get the scale factor worked out.
mona lisa 2011 I think your colors look great together. put them all together and stand back and look at them you will be amazed to see the beauty of them combined. a pic showing us would be nice also. hint hint |
I am having an awful time getting the 2nd & 3rd page of the pattern to print out correctly. Maybe someone else is having the same problem??? Any suggestions would be helpful.
|
wow those are very stricking patterns very impressing.
|
Lynn, I just love those babies you have there. I have a Boston also and she is a dream, just love her and will forever.

I've decided to post my star, although I'm not happy with how it turned out. I should have reversed the colors because my points don't stand out. I didn't realize this until I assembled the block.

I too lost my points. I don't know why I did not think to make the background in the blue to have contrast at the points. Oh well, I always make two versions. The second block I went more subtle in the stripes with a contrasting background. This was a fun star to make, thanks for suggesting it!

I changed and put the light where the dark is and dark where the light is. I'm glad I made ONE block - I could not see myself making a whole quilt with this block. To the quilter that does....I bow in awe!!! Here are 2 pictures. The yellow is bright and the wrinkles are from too much spray starch...which I'm sure will quilt out. |

I thought I would try another approach but I'm not happy with the way it turned out. I really didn't have the right colors to make the shift from blue to yellow. Also, it doesn't go very well with the other blocks. But I thought I'd post it for the idea. I'm going to try again with different colors.
