Love them!! I can't wait to start on mine.

that is really cool

Gorgeous!

Momma_K 02-15-2011 09:42 PM

They are all amazing! Yes I have to say it looks hard! But I'm willing to try. I can do paper piecing with no problems. Done oodles of them, but never a star as this. My advice to anyone wanting to try is to, get some old and ugly scraps, practice, practice, practice! Then before you know it you'll have an ugly duckling turned into a beautiful work of art.

(Hey, I can sling the bull but getting me to acutally ride the sucker is another!) Ha! Wish me luck!

I finished a quarter of the block today (lol, I'm taking it slow). I'm a little worried about how mine is going to turn out - I'm doing all Black and White fabrics and I'm afraid it's going to look VERY busy. =/ Oh well...we'll see how it comes out.

The second I used the freezer paper method where you don't stitch through the paper but fold it and stitch right along side the paper. I have decided that is my favorite way to do paperpiecing. I have always hated removing the paper, and with the freezer paper method you don't have to. And, you don't even have to use freezer paper. You can just pin your pattern to the first piece of fabric and away you go. I think this is a beautiful, beautiful star.

I have been making the pp method and getting a box of freezer paper and cannot wait to try that. BOTH BLOCKS ARE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. Well done. Just love this pattern thanks to Jerrie and her creation

Michelle it might look busy, but with the fabrics you have chosen, your star stands out beautifully. Well done in your choice.

Absolutely gorgeous, PokerDiva. I love your colors (as you can see from mine, I love blue). Didn't take you any time at all. Good job!

Great minds...... I said the same thing when I saw PokerDiva's star. "Beautiful...I love your colors".

i posted my block on the pattern site I was to excited to get in in. but I limited my points because I want to keep my stars to a limited number of fabrics i am going to check into some additonal colors that I plan to put into the sashing and outside border when finished it will add a teal color then i may redo this star with the additonal color.

Really looking forward to seeing that black and white star. I bet it will be gorgeous.

Your star is really pretty the way you did it. It really stands out. I'm always so amazed at people's ingenuity. I usually just follow the pattern - not much thinking outside the lines.

Love what you have come up with. Cannot wait to see the rest of your stars.

Just remember "Star People" this is not a race. Relax, enjoy coming up with new varieties..........

I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. Is someone going to do another slide show of all our stars? I can't remember who did that for us.

I will be doing another star slideshow. Batikqltr does the house BOM slideshow. It may take me another few days to get it up and running, so keep an eye here and I'll post the link.

Here is my block--not very good but done. I am not sure about this paper piecing! lol When I first learned pp a neighbor taught me and it was like this: "Just cut 2 large pieces of fabric, put them on this side and sew on the lines on this side." It was slap it on and sew. I had a hard time getting the fabric lined up right. There are a couple of things I learned since coming on this board:

1. Some one had put up a link to how to pp and what the lady did on the video is copied off an extra copy of the pattern. She used this to cut each piece and she used them to cut out her fabric adding on 1/4 seam allowance. I thought boy that makes sense! PP got easier for me then.

2. Judy talked earlier on this thread about when sewing on the fabric fold back on the line and sew next to the fold. Oh I liked that every better!!

I can't say they improved the looks of my pp but they made it easier.

Here is my block such as it is. I cut pieces 1 and 3 as one piece to make the background in black.

Really pretty - l like your colors and how the blocks look together!
