Wow the green fabric looks stunning - especially love the double star block it explodes at you. You are so very creative with all that you do.

Thanks so much, Beth - can't wait to see this all together - I'm going to use a dark batik as the sashing - should make these blocks stand out!

I can't wait to see your finished quilt with the dark batiks - are you making it for yourself?

Yes, this one's for me - going to artfully drape it at the foot of my bed or artfully drape it on a chair or artfully drape it somewhere in the bedroom

Not sewing 24/7, mo - - I've been reading, painting a couple of walls also but I do try to sew some each day.

Now I REALLY feel like a slacker! (I'm reading a lot lately... but painting?) Still amazing, and seriously I'm drooling over all your projects!

Thanks so much, Pam! I'm really glad I decided to use my background in the middle of the double start - makes those darker fabrics really stand out.

Thanks, Wazoo Sue! I should live closer to you to get free motion tips! Just don't tell me I need a long arm - quilting has taken over one bedroom & is creeping into the guest room.

You don't need a longarm. I started on my domestic (Pfaff) and did that for twelve years before buying my first used Gammill in 2006. I'm still learning, and I quilt every day!!

Thanks, Sandie! For some reason I didn't agonize over fabric selection as much with these blocks - I am a little worried about having enough for the final 4 blocks or should I say enough to do them the way I want. I started out with a 12 fat quarter bundle & added a few more - we'll see - -
