    A few days ago I went to my local fabric store to buy a darning foot for my Brother sewing machine. The price was way more than I wanted to pay. I came home and ordered one on E-Bay for $10 less, and that included shipping. It came in the mail today and works like a charm. Now I can get cracking on my UFO's. I have a king size ready to start quilting, and these two pieced. I want to make some changes on the Star. I bought it at a family reunion white elephant auction several years ago. The green quilt is a BOM from several years ago at JoAnn's.

    On the Star, I don't care for the way the top blocks are done. I am thinking of taking those off and use in the spaces around the points. If anyone has ideas, I would love to hear...all suggestions are welcome.

    Love them both! The BOM is my favorite though.... probably more my colors :)

    Love these, esp the scrappy star:) You are right though the top blocks may take away from the brilliance of the star. I am sure some of the ladies here will have awesome ideas for you.
