Seeing all the pix really helps out with picking colors to go with what has already been made. Hope you keep the pix coming.

I've had nothing but problems with Golden Wedding Ring. It's not that it was unmanageable to put together. Quite the contrary, it went together well and was beautiful. However, I became frustrated because I just can't get the pp foundations to print at the right size, and I don't want to keep producing blocks I can't use because they're too small.

So, I've selected a different block for this swap. It's Pineapple Star from Quilters Cache. I think it looks a bit Carol Doak-ish. Here's the first one. I plan to do them in different color combinations from my vast stash of batiks.

If I have time to do a second block, I will revisit Golden Wedding Ring, and just draw it in EQ.

I'm new to the swap - didn't know about the last batik swap, but am excited to see all the wonderful blocks you all have posted -- such a talented group!

Here is Kalidescope Star. All 12 are made and they are waiting to be sent out, as soon as the mail date is posted. I know, I know, it won't be for a long time yet, and even longer before I get my share of beauties in my anxious hands.

I also am going to do a second set, Galaxy Star. I love paper piecing! :thumbup: :lol:

I share your love for paper piecing, Judy. You do lovely work. I'll put you down for a second set.
