Whitepine... my plan is to do the blocks 1/2 dark and 1/2 light backgrounds. Then at the end, make 2 lap quilts... one light and one dark. Well.. that's my plan for now... things will probably change about 20 times between now and then. LOL

PorkerDiva.... We are a very patriot family here.... I think you may be seeing a lot of RWB from me. Colorado is done and I did that one the same way.

tomilu... love your blue you used on the blocks... very pretty.

Here is my California Star, and I will also post the other four. I am really enjoying this project!

Nicklsf, how did you get those stripes in your California block so perfect? Great blocks.

Everyone's blocks are so beautiful.... I'm glad I'm not having to judge anything! It would be a 1st-place-
tie for everyone. I finally finished my Alabama block the other day......now let's see if I can post a picture. It's not squared up yet, and I'm trying to use up fabrics from my stash, so it will be a scrappy quilt.

Thank you Florence. It was not that hard to fussy cut these. I cut all the strips side by side from one layer of fabric, then placed them carefully! Aren't these fun! I was ahead but now I am no longer. I have to get busy this week!

Everyones blocks are just beautiful!! I thought I had the book of Stars but what I have is the Bright and Bold Blocks and another one of Paper Piecing. I could order the Stars book but so affraid I'd never get caught up! If I'm not mistaken you have 4 done for this month already.......! I could try!!

Momma K, please do try. You don't have to worry about catching up. There are no quilt police here. It is do as you can. We would love to see your beautiful stars too.

Momma K, You could jump in with the week we're on, then go back as you have time to work on the others. After all, you've got all year to catch up. :)

Nicky, Love your California. Wow.
Tomilu, Your blues are going to be very pretty.
Debbie, Looks great. I think these stars lend themselves to scrappy.
I am learning so much about colors by seeing what others are doing.
