It happens to ALL of us Annie - I guess practice makes perfect?? Someone had mentioned making a larger block, and then trimming down to size. Your block looks nice tho!

Hi, I had to try this block and did it both ways. I think I like the dark color in the center, as it shows the star better..
now how do I attach the picture?!?!

My thoughts exactly! I started one last night! What is that saying: Great minds think alike! I'll post pics when I finish it.

OMG!! They are scrumptious! Now - (are you good at math) how many combinations could one get with those colors, and the same pattern. Wouldn't that make a wonderful quilt - even baby's quilt??? Thank you for showing that!

This was a really good exercise in color and value. What a different appearance the block has depending on position of light/dark fabrics. I sometimes take a black & white photo to see contrast but this really helps too.
Great challenge!! All the blocks are pretty.

Here's what I did...made 1 block then started playing with the fabric. This has really helped me see how one pattern can look many diferent ways. Too bad I don't have more of this fabric to play with, I had to piece the center cream color to do this much. If I only used 2 colors I could come up with even more looks. I might do that yet. Very fun, thanks for starting this challenge!!

Yes, please do. It is so much fun to see what everyone comes up with. :-)
