Here is my Blue and White Star. By the way I hope, like Judy suggested you are all going to put a label on you blocks so we know whose is who, think that would be really cool.

Oh Elle that's so pretty! Beautiful work.
|
Elle! That is just beautiful! Please make plenty so I get one too!
:D :D :D |
Thats fantastic Butterfly!
I think I'm going to do 2 sets, one for practice and one to send. I can then alternate between my set and the swops. The points on my first set arent matching too well yet, although from the advice on here the second block was a lot better than the first, so maybe by block 3 they will be ok to send - and I'll just have a couple of extras from the practicing. |
Thanks everyone, that was blood sweat and tears. I never let things beat me though. Glad you all like it.
I did think about making 24 but at the rate I am going I think 12 is enough. Elle |
Elle, that is gorgeous!!! What is the pattern called? Is it paper pieced? Love it!!!

Elle think about it.. |
I am thinking Judy, because I really would like a large size quilt, not only that to have them made by all the ladies on this board would be awesome.
Lets see what I can do. Elle :D |

Ok, this is the second block, and for the moment is considered a practise one - how does it look? Its certainly better than the first- which you dont get to see a picture of! Hopefully the next will be even better...!
|
Looks great, I had to practice too. You did good gal.

Elle and Sazu, great star blocks. I'm still looking for a wow pattern here :-)
|
[/quote] Oh wow, that is a gorgeous block! :) Perhaps one day you would be able to share a pattern? I'll probably initial and date mine with a Pigma pen. :)[/quote] Okay if you want the pattern, its under Florida Star on Quilterscache.com and its really easy to do, I made my blocks plain on the side and I think the original has a half square triangle.

I've just completed my first set of twelve! They're even the right size and everything! Woo-hoo! :D
Second set is in progress, but might take a while since I have other bits to get on with too. |

Hi, I would like to join this exchange, too! Where do we mail them to!
Cheers, Amanda |
I also have another question. Can we make two sets and get two sets in return!
-Amanda |

Amanda in the first handful of pages jstitch the hostess says it will be find for you to send two groups of stars. Just send her a PM about your interest.
|
Now that I come to think of it, I don't think I will make two sets. That is quite ambitious for me!!! I think I will just stick to one set. Thanks for your help though!
|
Welcome from Washington, amaleecol. You will love this site!
