Ack! If you're talking about the block in the picture you took...I'm scared! It's beautiful and looks perfect!! Here's hoping it's only because you didn't wash it or else I'm in trouble :shock:

Still working on finding my pattern....pulled all the blues and whites out at least. Deciding is always the hardest part (for me).

Nah, the first one seemed to work out fine, but the second was giving me fits. I decided I was NOT having any fun, so it was off to the 'puter to find another pattern that was more fun to make.

My mailing address has been posted in the instructions on the first page.
Please go there to get it when you are ready to mail your blocks..

For the international girls, we still need to come up with a process for you to send money for your return postage...

Okay Judy, think I have solved the problem. Do you have a Paypal account. the process is really simple if you have. Simply give me your Paypal email address and I can send you the money. Have looked into it and it is really simple.

However if you haven´t Iwill put my thinking cap on again.

Ok, so here's the block I settled on doing. Much less discontent doing this one instead. Hope you like.

very pretty Lori!!!! My sample block came out perfect, so I started sewing monday, did all the units before putting any blocks together, the first one I did put together is 1/8" too small. Now I dont know if I just messed up on this first one or if all of them are going to be too small!!!!!!! I was having trouble with one particular point on each unit. So maybe that is where my problem is. Now do I rip everything apart or just start over? Arrrgh!!!!! So frustrating!!!!!! :evil:

Lori, that block is really pretty too!

I still haven't gotten back to mine from taking it apart where the paper patterns didn't match up..got sidetracked on DH's quilt.

Here is a test block which I will NOT be using... Actually the colors do look pretty together but, it takes me entirely too long to make this one and when I looked at it finished I think that the outer part makes the block look on point and wouldn't play well with other star blocks..so this one will turn into something else.
