ArteEm--sharp colors reinforced by the stars in the bground. I have found that I usually will only rip twice, if I haven't gotten it right by then I never will and yes this was a time consuming block. I had more trouble sewing that last "Y" seam. When I tore some of the seam allowance paper off it tore into the big triangle block and I lost my seam allowance and made sewing that a bugger. I've learned not to stress over it either--just not worth it, it's only a quilt.
GGal Nice bright blues in the lanes, a refreshing change. What's the paisley fabric in the bground of your star? Yeah it's probably my favorite type of fabric. Your star points complement it so well.
The picture doesn't do justice to the colors in either of my blocks. The paisley is really a cream instead of yellow and the coral and green are also much softer. It looks so delicate and old fashioned. This has to be one of my favorite fabrics and I wanted to show it off in a block that had more background.
