    Finished one of my 12, Linda's Star, I found this pattern to be very hard, must read and do exactly as the instructions say, no assuming, as I did, and found myself taking out stitches, probably as I do more blocks they will get easier; hopefully. Hope you like the Fabs I chose.

    Very pretty I love your colors - I think I am using the same blue fabric with silver stars as you are :-) Great minds think alike.

    Might I ask.... Does each block have to be competley identical or may I be slightly scrappy? By that I mean if i do a blue for the very center may I use different blues in the centers or does it have to be the exact same fabric?

    Just want to check on the flexibility before I start. Either way is fine by me :)
    I would say because these blocks are already 'busy' that the blocks need to be identical. I can see that I am going to be bonkers with the different (yet very similar) patterns.
    I can work with that. Time to hit the stash :)

    Deb, I'm going to have to drop out of this swap. Too much else to do by the holiday season. Maybe another one.

    Thanks, ljptexas

    Deb,

    I'm going to have to drop out also. I plan to use my fat quarter assortment, so I don't think I'll have enough of any fabrics to do all 12 blocks alike. I mistakenly thought they could be done scrappy.

    I'll be following the thread, though. This was a great idea.

    Here is my first star. I think now that I have done one its going to be easier from here on out. I found the directions a little confusing. Hope you like it. I all my fabrics have either stars or snowflakes on them for the winter theme. The white fabric has silver snowflakes on it which aren't seen in this picture.
