Ok, everyone, listen up ... can you hear it? Far off in a land far away, Annie is loudly singing "Tomorrow, tomorrow, it's only a day away!"

dedemac, make your decision on the A and B fabrics by looking at the pictures posted, you'll get a better idea if you want the red starsto pop or have the yellow stars receed. Your quilt, your choice.

I absolutely love all the pictures everyone has posted -- quilts are beautiful. And I think I've even noticed a few who said they weren't a scrappy kind of gal saying they like their quilts! Hooray for Scrappy!

Got this far yesterday, can't wait until Sat. for clue three! I think I have it figured out, but I've been wrong before.
It's been so much fun seeing everyone's photos. It's like a super sized version of my favorite feature in the quilt magazines where they show a quilt in different colors and fabrics. Thanks Judy!

Dang... that is really pretty dhanke! I love the 4 patch in the stars! Makes me want to change mine. I've just started working on sewing the 2 1/2 inch squares on the sashing this morning. My company is going home today, but, sadly, I don't think I'll have my pieces all sewn together and ready for the next step by tomorrow. I know it's not a race, but I sure wish I could have mine as far along as the rest of you.

Wow I love the quilts showing up here. I think we need to have a album of all the mystery quilts finished. It amazes me how so many different quilts come out of the same pattern!

I am going to do another and we have not even finished this one! I have been collecting black and White fabrics (mostly FQ's but some smaller and some bigger too) for about 5 years now. I have enough to cover a football field! so I am going to make one with this pattern. It will be scrappy but I will control it a little, if I can. Since I brought almost a bag full of B&W with me to Mom's I think I am going to do that! Maybe I will be ready for the next clue! And btw... remember how I wanted to get it all together so I would not lose any pieces, well all the pre-cut pieces somehow did not make it to Oregon! Hopefully I left them all at home and did not lose them some where in between So Cal and Oregon!

I've decided I'm going to double the size of mine. I think. A friend loaned me her scrap box so I don't have to make anymore cuts into my stash. Now I have to decide if I will take time to get my house in order (hubby will be home for the weekend) or just start cutting and sewing.
dhanke, I really like yours.

So the top left block I should remove the top row of blocks and stick it on the bottom so the red is in the middle? Is that correct.

Thank you all for help.

I think I will make some French Onion Soup tomorrow for the Club car. Its cold and wet here.

That'll work! I know you will be happier.

dhanke I love love love your quilt. What a great idea!

Attn: Everyone: After I put up tomorrow's clue I will make a posting in the Pictues Section Called Scrappy 9-Patch Quilts where we cango to post all our quilt tops.

dhanke, The four patch star center looks great. I like the way it ties in with the nine patch.

happyjunker, I'm with you, still working on the stars and sashing, and wishing I was farther along.

marytoddliz, B&W would be spectacular. I like this pattern because it's big squares can showcase an individual pattern. I'll make another too, someday. Have to finish this one first. : )

Judy yes my avatar is from the Carol Doak 50 paper pieced stars quilt along on here. I am waiting for it to be finished at the longarmer. I really enjoyed making it. I love to paper piece. I used 40 of the blocks in the quilt and am making 4 of the Vermont block to use as a wall hanging. I have 3 finished and now it is laying in the UFO mess. I love how it came out. I am still not finished with with this weeks clue. I got a crazy idea last night to put a 16 patch in the center of my stars for the 4 1/2 blocks. I wanted to use some turquoise fabric I found in my stash and there was only 1 1/2 inch strips. So I made 16 patches out of it. They are almost finished. I will start the assemble tonight.
