Mmmmmm ice cream!! Sounds good!

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!

I NEVER liked polka dots. :cry: Your stars have really enlightened me to polka dots!!! :D :D NOW I WANT TO MAKE A POLKA DOT QUILT TOO!! :D :D :D You have changed my mind about polka dots. Now I'm going to look for them in fabrics.

Your Dotty Stars are adorable! :thumbup:

That's going to be a darling quilt! I can't wait to see it when you get it all together!

Finally, here's the blue star!!!

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?

Kyia

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.

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.

I like watching an artist at work, sometimes you give me courage to think out of the box. Can hardly wait to see what you are sewing up next.

Can't wait to see this one finished!

Wow Brazen! I always love what you come up with. When I started looking I thought...whoa...what on earth is she gonna do with ALL those triangles and why in the world would she want to work with that may bias edges???? Well...you showed me! I love how all that turns into that fabulous star!

Keep going and I'll keep coming back to look...I love all your dots!

Thank you DA Mayer and Sandpat and everyone!!! I really appreciate your encouragement and comments!! It helps keep me going.

Here's a pink! I really like this one.

I wonder if I should do an all yellow block?? Or just keep sprinkling the yellows thruout the blocks like I am?

What say you all?

It's looking great. Why not throw in a yellow one. It will brighten it up even more. I love it.

I'd throw in a yellow one.

Kyia

Yup...go for it with the yellow too!

Oh wow, this looks incredible!!! I could never put that many colours together! I'm colour challenged lol Can we pick a favourite block? lol I Love the green one! :)

Love it, just love it. Never would have thought to use all dots. The contrast with the green is perfect.

They age coming along great. I vote for a yellow. Keep 'em coming--this is fun.

I usually don't like this many dots together but the finioshed blocks are adorable, can't wait to see more

LOL! This is very fun watching it all come together. I vote yes on a yellow too. :D

I vote yellow. I just love catching up on your blocks and they are so exact! Great job.

Go with the yellow. I love it and all the different dots!

Yay! Thanks for all of your "yes to yellow" votes! One yellow star is alllllmost done! But I have to go to work now, so it won't get finished until late tonight. :D

No pressure, but have you been able to work on this a little more? I'd love to see your pictures if you can share them here. :D

I didn't read all the posts but I did look at all your dotty stars. They are amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress.

Too neat! They blend so well! ima have to try this!!

Star looks great . If u can keep the middle dark as this black or dark blue maby will atract more otherwise i found it wow
how big fabric of one color u will buy?

Hey all! I did finish the Yellow star, and then set aside the dots to make myself a large harvest/autumn/thanksgiving tablerunner. LOL

Sawsan, I started out buying 1/4 yard pieces of all the dot fabrics I could find, but generally that's way too much I think, so I started just buying 1/8 yard strips. The cutting ladies HATE me. And any fat quarters that I find in dots I get, too!

I have over 75 fabrics now!

Coming along GREAT!!!

Brazen,

I have been watching, and waiting to see your finished quilt. How is it going? I love it.

Normally I can't stand polka dots- but this is making me change my mind, it's so- wow! (in a very good way)

Can't wait for more updates!

:thumbup: :thumbup: Looks great to me!! :D

did the yellow ever get done?? I remember watching this thread last year....i know how well life gets in the way!!

Beautiful

LOVE IT dots are my favorite kind of fabric I must have at least 25 different ones in my stash :thumbup: :thumbup:

You are sew clever. Cute!

I love that! Hope you keep posting progress! Love polka dots and your star shows up nicely!
