Libster these are some that I found and liked but I am open to you to use a pattern that you have and I am hoping that we will have some of the ladies to do some paper piecing blocks I seen a lot that I liked on the quiltercache site, I don't know how to do it but think the blocks are beautiful when done by PP.

I would like to see a wide variety in the patterns so we have a wide variety of blocks to trade out.

SuziSew, GREAT blocks. I *love* the reverse color way. Are they going in the same quilt? I contemplated doing that also. But, I just couldn't envision the final product. I bet it is going to come out really cute!!

ArmyLady-Just my opinion, but these blocks may be a little difficult for some quilters. There are a lot of point to get perfect. Just a thought....take it or leave it. Maybe a simpler pattern you may have more swappers and having it a little easier to meet deadlines.

I feel that if you are going to make more than 2 sets of blocks then we need a variety of star patterns to have more of a variety of star blocks in our quilts. Please take a look and see what you all think. If everyone is Ok with using some of these patterns for their blocks then I will write up the announcement and get permission from the QB admin to make the post. Please don't start making the blocks until I have the announcement posted in case we do not get permission.
