I have a question - I am going to do the July row and was wondering - did the other Canadians in this group do the stars or did you adapt a bit of a Canadian look..just wondering if perahps I would change the row again - or just go with the Americana stars....
I love the look of the row!!!!

Well, I finally did my July row - but I changed it - I decided to try to find a Maple leaf....the block thta I found was a bit bigger than the ones that were planned for July....instead of 5 1/2" unfinished, my Maple Leafs are 6 1/4" - so it's not too bad......
Because they were a bit bigger...and because I wanted an even number so that the stems pointed towards each other, I decided to only do 4....I could have done 5...but I broke it up by adding sashing in between....
Anyways, here is what I have so far.....I hope it looks ok....
Looking forward now to August......

Hi Sharon,
Thanks...I feel so good now that I have caught up - then after it was done I was afraid that perhaps the leafs were a bit too large..but they are only about 3/4" larger than the stars...but I decided to leave as is..I think that it will all work :-)...Aterall, it is a sample :-)
This is a fun project and I can't wait to get the top all done so that I can add borders or whatever and get it quilted and finished...
By the way, I have been keeping a couple of the number of pieces in this...so far I am at 711......and there's a lot more to go.. :-)

Oh my Bill! You are speaking of all the little pieces that we have put together!?? Goodness! I am thinking of the borders and binding and then the quilting. I hope to have it quilted by a quilter, there are a few in the area and charge from 1 1/2 to 2 cents a square inch! Not sure how much that adds up to, but this will be my first kept project, so I am thinking it would be nice to have it done up! :)
