Not only do I have NO musical skills, and I do mean none but no one in my family on both sides as back as 3 generations back that I am aware of have any at all.

Hot off the machine is Libster's block. I noticed there was a 4 repeat in the F8, but it was only a small strip (x4). So I knew I could make 4 patch posies, but the biggest I could make them was just under 4 inches. So each 4PP was going to need a surround. If I set them on point I would have more room to play w/ the surround, and since we all know Libster's fondness for stars why not figure out a surround that would make stars???? But I have a strip of her fabric left just sitting there doing nothing, can't really use the repeats since there are only 2. (well I did try but forgot about mirror image shapes ). That is the thinking process that got me to here.

The purple star points aren't pastel, but they aren't nearly as dark as they look either.

I've made some blocks this afternoon too. First is Mollymunchkin's. It's a Double Star (what else for Star Wars?).
Second is for Hav4boys. It's a Greek Cross.
Third is for LJDugas31. It's A Dandy. Hope y'all like them and can use them.

Great blocks, Mariposa! Really like the one for Jaba...
Love the beer block!
Love Kass' block for Libster. Kass I'm still amazed that you can get stack n whacks out of a F8...
Great Star Wars block, Libster! It sings.

Most fabrics I can't there usually is a few each boom that I can. Libster's was barely. There were only 4 and the repeat was such a small part at first I didn't think I could get enough from it.

Good Saturday morning ladies
I have 2 more to share these are for Terri which I enjoyed looking for patterns for them that didn't feel feminine. The first I call beer garden, a 4.5 inch square was a great size for fussy cutting this one.

This one I found several booms ago and tried to use many times but the right fabric was just never sent. I was so excited to finally get a chance to finally make it. I'm calling this one cigar toss.

Also Terri when you get this one you will notice the stay stitching I decided to do. All of the edges are on the bias and I thought a bit of stabilization was a good idea. Also I swear that a red not orange for some reason no matter what I did it came out with an orange hue.
