Thanks everyone! So far the white and blacks are working out well and I think they look good. I will post more blocks in the next few days. I am going in order from the LTG book and I am now starting work on the churn dash blocks.

Did anyone else have "problems" with the Plus Star block? I had a heck of a time figuring out what went where, even though I laid out the block row by row. It is together now, but took me almost 3 days to get it figured out. I went so far as to enlarge and copy the block from the book and colored in the different components. Still was confused. Don't think I made any errors, but not 100% thrilled with the final block. Oh well....

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. I will be starting the churn dash blocks today as DH is busy studying for a pharmacology exam.

The hardest part for me of the PLus a star block was figuring out the fabrics. I made a similar quilt not too long before I made LTG so the lay out was quite familiar to me.

Wow Teen these are all beautiful. I am going to see about getting some of her patterns. I have always admired those Gypsy Wife quilts I have seen.

After a holiday break, I got back to Long Time Gone over the last few days. I had been intimidated by the small Courthouse Steps blocks but actually found them quite easy. I then did the Log Cabin blocks with no real problems. Next, I hit the half square triangles. Mama mia! The block made with 2" HSTs was murder, but thankfully I finished. It may pass the galloping horse test but certainly not any close scrutiny. I'm going to take another break for a day or so. These blocks are intense!
