That one has turned out to be my favorite also. Of course ,when I bought the material for this, I only got 1 yard of it :lol: :lol: I might have to go back to Mary Jo's and see if I can't find more of it to do a border.

The blocks are 12.5 inches. I like the look with lots of pieces, and i am trying to use unusual star patterns, ones that you don't see every day. got another one cut out today, but didn't get to put it together. Hope to have it done tonight though. :-D

I love it when you get a block done, and you still have that 1/4 in seam allowance at the points for sewing them together :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well, I started this sampler the last of January, and then got side tracked, learning to Paper Piece, which I have fallen in love with :lol: and this morning decided I needed to finish up the blocks for this sampler. So, here are the last 3 Star Blocks. this will not be a huge quilt, only about a twin size, the smallest quilt I have ever made. I hope to get the sashing done this evening.
