I can't begin to tell all of you how wonderful it feels to see pictures of your blocks that you have done using my pattern. It is so special to know that maybe a 100 years from now someone might see a Candlequilter Star block or the pattern and still use it. So maybe in some small wee way there will always be a little piece of me on this earth.
Thank you all for your help,

Yippee! Mine is done! I must say there are much more expert quilters out there than me, because I was sweating over this block. I love the pattern though... I am sure when I get over the shakes, I will make more! It will be off in the mail tomorrow.
I hope someone else adds yellow to theirs, or I may be forced to make another.
Sherryl, when is the deadline for these blocks?

How appropriate that we are working on patriotic quilt blocks on Memorial weekend.

oooooh, I love the blue fabric on the outside. Can you tell me where you got it or the name> I would love having it to piece with. I am going to try a pp star tomorrow, after I go to Staples and copy the one from a book I have. Love your star and the color combination. :lol:
