They are beautiful. Like lots of the others, I am really drawn to the block on the lower left....most unusual and attractive.

wvdek 10-13-2009 08:07 PM

Very pretty. This book is on my 'to do' list.

mumtoliam 10-13-2009 09:08 PM

Love the blocks. What is a sew along and what Eleanor Burns book is this from? I will also add it to my list of projects to do!!

Sheila Elaine 10-13-2009 09:17 PM

Nice blocks. How large will your quilt be?

omak 10-13-2009 09:27 PM

The name of the book is "Stars Across America" and hasn't been out very long ...
the block in the lower left corner is called a triple star ... Honoring Eleanor Roosevelt.
The book contains twelve star blocks in various settings - - as always, an Eleanor Burns book is worth the time to purchase and work through.
The history included with each star block that she named the blocks after is a real treat and inspiration to read.
the blocks are to be twelve inches finished ... many settings and options provided. (can't tell I like Eleanor Burns, can you? <g>)

the colors you have chosen are very pretty ... your work is impressive ...
I can hardly wait to see how you decide to finish it up!

edit: the histories included are about twelve American women who have been inspirational and foundational to our heritage and culture.

Moonpi 10-13-2009 09:30 PM

Beautiful - those colors are so great together.
