Love your block Kathy it's very pretty and refreshing, you've done a great job on it :thumbup: That morning star looks great Connie, so clear and crisp.
Here are my offerings. I did piece the drunkards path in the end, but it is pieced a bit differently. I made the center as one piece instead of 4 so that I could use a bit of feature fabric in it. Had a devil of a job peicing it. I clipped the edges of the inside curves which helped a bit and the tweezers became my best friend :shock: . It had some wrinkles and puckers that took a good steaming to get out and it is fairly wonky, Thank goodness for photo edit :lol: . Nevermind it was good practice and the boy won't care if it's wonky :P

WOW they are ALL awesome! Lillian, glad you reminded me about the baby sleeves, that's exactly what it was like! Duh!?! I did mine by hand, but have to do another by machine since Yvonne got on me about taking shortcuts (HA! as if sewing that many by hand is a shortcut) But love the first one I did, this one by all machine is going to be only two colors though.
Steve, don't be intimidated, it's all in the slowness of the foot control. I've loved this pattern for years but not attempted it because it looks harder than it is. 8)
congrats on all the lovely color mates and beautiful seams, going to cut the 2nd Drunk Path and the other block, have the fabrics all picked out!
