    Those stars are something else, and your Y seams look perfect!

    Those are lovely. I agree about retreating. I am really looking forward to ours.

    The spirals are magnificent. Lovely stars, too. Thanks for the ideas & where are the patterns to be found?

    I bought the spiral pattern at a quilt shop and about the star pattern, there was none included with the pieces, but I just did a hit and miss to fill in the outer edge. The stars were cut in a stack and wack pattern, and all pinned together in their group. I am so anxious to work on it, but must finish some others before I begin another. I would guess that many of you can relate to that. lol I am guessing that you could find the pattern for that star at quilterscache.com They have such a great supply of patterns available.

    Default Spicy Spiral

    I have taught this as a class and made several of these runners, and at one point decided I wanted to make a reversible one, so I figured out how to do that. You have actually done just that and if you think about it and look carefully at the photo you will see that they could be stitched together back-to-back! It's all in the direction in which you add the subsequent strips. If you want to PM me, I can send you some tips.
    I have also taught Stack 'n' Whack several times and I love the prints that were used in your blocks.

    I really like the way your Noel blocks turned out. I am a big fan of stack and whack. Like the others too. But, I'd never have enough nerve to attempt making them. Thanks for sharing! I'd say that class really paid off.

    Lovely runners! It looks like the two of you just assembled them opposite of each other.
    Pretty star blocks as well. Will make a very pretty quilt someday.
