    There is a "Not your Grandmother's Tumbling Blocks" book by Marci Baker. All made by strip piecing and then cut into triangles. I am beginning one soon. Love your blue and white one!

    Thanks everyone, you are all too kind. It will be a slow process but I will post pictures when I finish the top.

    That is so cool!!! I did a similar pattern, but had the scrappy fabrics in the star, and the white in the blocks.....Your eye sees lots of stuff, that's for sure!! I had quilted mine (but then, all i do is hand-quilt!! )
