so, as you can see, i'm not a fan of the book and see no reason to buy it.

I second that - some of the block drawings are not particularly good, either

Here are my 3 sets. I am still working on the third set. :oops: I was hoping to be done this week but I work 10 hour days and am soooo pooped at night. I will be on time though moving right along. I am clearing my plate for the Cyber Sew and still looking for fabric I want just the right ones to make my DJ. There is a quilt show in 2 weeks I am hoping to get something wonderful there. We shall see.
Ok here they are hope you like them------------Cher

It's a simple 9 patch, so I decided I would fussy cut it to show off the stars in the forest green fabric. The stars are gold, but the color doesn't show up well in the pictures. The 'red' is burgundy with a mauvish pattern.

I love the lines coming from the stars it makes them look like they are shining :wink:
