    My August star. I am rethinking my background color choice. The green washes out into the brown.

    Well, I never attempted/finished July's star - so I thought I'd do this one early. Especially considering it was so 'easy'. It was a much needed relief, and it's still adorable, I think.

    Not sure now about my choice of black in this star. It looks a little modern for all my florals. Plus the red is more than I was hoping to use, as with my other blocks (see second pic) I only use little bits of red.

    Oh well - it was quick. Took only about an hour. Maybe now I'll get the guts to attempt July's star.

    :-( How do I get to do tthe blocks at this late date?
    My grandson wants a fall quilt to take back to collage.
    I think this would be wonderful in fall colors.

    I was so excited this morning to get the instructions for the August BOM! I thought maybe I had better tweak it a bit so I could use more of my colors and make it compatible with my other blocks. Whacked and stitched and got all put together and what to my wondering eyes should appear?

    OH NO!..............

    It’s an Ohio Star. Poor Leah! Well back to the drawing board.

    NOT LEAH'S STAR

    I think the block is very striking. I think it looks nice with the other blocks.
