And thank you Amma for your compliments!!! I am slowly working on a blue block right now. :) Much slower when I have to work all day!

Ok, I am loving this quilt already!!!! What a great imagination to use all polka dots! I cant wait to see them all together! Are you going to use any type of sashing?

Hi Kyia!! No... I don't plan on using sashing in there.... the original picture that I'm working from doesn't have it, so I never even considered it! Before I'm done, I'll now add in a strip between two rows to see what it would look like! :D

I finished a Brown this morning! Not going to do too many of those, but hopefully it'll be nice in the mix.

And here are the finished 5 together:

All of your blocks are looking great. Every time I pick a favorite, you post new pics and I change my mind!

Thanks Lisa! I am worrying, prematurely I know, about placing these blocks when it comes time to attach them all! I have a vague desire for a pretty "color-wash"... but when I really think about what that means and where I put each colored star... I worry! LOL :D

I say just throw them out there and shuffle until you are happy. Maybe if you go into it without a preconcieved idea, you'll hit on a pattern that makes you happy without giving you grey hair.
