    Think I need to visit you, and check all your fabrics. I love the ones you chose.
    As for the dogs.. They look like they are very loved. I wouldn't think of living without a dog..

    I finally finished the 44 small stars that go around the border, wheeeeeeeeee....22 white stars and 22 dark blue, I did 15 today.

    Now all I have to do is sew the blocks together as all the blocks are done. I thought I'd show you the sea of stars lol..

    I thought I'd show you some more tips. Here is a strip cut for at a 45 degree angle and now it needs to be cut in half to make two triangles. Even tho I cut very precise, I still use the template out of the book to make sure. I lay the template down on the strip and put my ruler's 1/4 ins on the 1/4 ins line of the template and cut. Sure enough, I had a little left over.

    I have been sewing the blocks together and then some of the rows. I had to extend the bed with cardboard in order to see the blocks.

    Here is some of the work. I am on the eight row and find that I have to make a few more Reels, about six and a couple large stars, but that should do it. What a project.

    Since the blocks have to be set up on point, it takes a lot of room.

    Also Molly says Hi lol.
