The sixteen patches were all truly a mix of scraps, the star blocks are done with fabrics from my stash. (I can't even believe I have a stash, small as it is.) I don't know how big it is going to be yet, I guess that depends on how many more star blocks I can make. I am thinking about a country type red for a border and then maybe a border of the patches. What do you think This is also the first time I am posting a picture, so let's cross our fingers.

The top sat for 6 years, unquilted because I discovered a glaring flaw almost in the middle and did not know what to do to fix it. Finally, I openned some seams, moved a few things around and now, am very happy with My First Quilt!
The second one started as a few blocks because I wanted to try a Log Cabin (plus I needed something to do with the 'stash' I had acquired to make my FIRST quilt!!). I decided to make a lap quilt...which quickly changed into a twin bed quilt...which grew to fit a queen. And when it got to that point, I decided that I liked it so much that I would love to make it a king size to fit our bed, but could not find any more of the two fabrics that outline each block. (Sigh). And so it remains--Just a Queen!

[Love that last one from the strings you won. The black diamond in the center is really pulling it together. You gonna applique that cat on there? :lol:[/quote]
This line about the cat cracked me up. That's part of why I love this group so much. AND....the quilts in this thread are awesome, so beautiful.
