    Rolling right along, here is my Rolling Star. I really like the look of the blocks in which I've used red and green together. I think I avoided doing that in the beginning because I was afraid it would look Christmassy, but it doesn't at all. To me it just looks bright and happy. I am going to mix red and green together in a few more blocks before I finish up. I actually have a couple more blocks glued together, but they aren't stitched yet so I'm not going to photograph them yet. I have more time to build the blocks in the evenings than I have to stitch them during the day!

    I like your green and red, too. In this block I love the 'pop' of red. You certainly on a roll!

    Nice to see the momentum speeding you along Lara. You will be up to date in no time.

    Love this block - does not say Christmas to me at all just "look at me 'cos I'm beautiful".

    Here is my latest block. I don't remember the name. . . .other than my glaring gap I think I like it. I wish my outside applique pieces were bigger but I think it will work.

    I'm looking for a glaring gap, but I can't find it. It looks beautiful to me! Love the batiks - especially the pink "background" applique.

    Love the fabrics on this one Judith and your glaring gap must be looking the other way 'cos I can't see it either.

    It is just the top left light point next to the black. But, as I have commented to others when they have talked of something they wish were better, when they are all set together the blocks will play well together and I probably won't even see it!
