Select your Stars - Signup Closes Nov 6 2010
#71
Sewhappy30, I am so glad that you are reaching for the stars in your quilting! From what the others have said, the patterns are precise, but if you follow them, you will not have a problem. Another piece of advice was to cut your fabric, assemble the little block pieces, then lay the entire block out. It seemed to help when putting things together. The ones posted are beautiful. And you are correct, be (NIKE) and Just Do It.

Kristen, your blocks are beautiful as they are. Since your blocks are different, it may be when I swap them out, someone may get two of yours, instead of just one. Don't redo any of them, as they are really nice. Just for future blocks, please make your blocks identical. With only 8 blocks to choose from, we have several of the same patterns being used.

Thanks for your kind words, I have been watching this swap and would love to participate, but I consider myself a beginner and would not want to disappoint anyone with my blocks. I need to have more confidence in myself.
I have even went as far as printing off a pattern for Carolyn's Star. It looked pretty simple.
I'm going to the fabric store this weekend and taking the pattern with me, if I can get up my nerve I'm going to make one first before I committ to the swap, but if it turns out I'm going to jump in and hope for the best. I think I still have plenty of time to get them done before the deadline.
Again thank you for the encouragement and for me realizing that things don't have to be perfect as long as I do my best. The only way to learn is...to just do it.
