czpainter I really love your colors (um, lack of colors?) the shades you picked look so good together.
Rose, I love the scrappy quilt star too, I think it would be fun to make all the blocks scrappy. I have no stash so that doesn't work for me.
Nelda and Linda those are good tips. I left the Paper Piece pattern attached to the first block I made so I could use it as a reference for where future colors go if I liked that pattern. (The green one I posted that shall remain solo.) Glad your thumb is better already Linda!
I'm using paper piecing paper now, it can stay in the quilt as a stabilizer and I may just leave it in since I will probably not wash the fabric again.

I love this pattern. I have been trying to make my first one and keep getting a tuck in one side when I try to sew all three together. Please help! I really want to make this block. I am new at quilting, only a few months although I have made 15 or so blocks w/ different designs. But I still can't get this one. I have taken it apart a few times and get the same results.

Sparkling Lake, what three pieces are you talking about? I did mine paperpiecing, actually, I'm still doing it and I can't think of anything that comes in threes. There are four units which go together to make one block. Each unit is made up of 4 subunits which each have two pieces.
If you can post pictures we might be able to catch what you're doing.
It's good to have you here.
