Lyme disease would be a blessing compared to being bitten by the Lone Star Tick. Two husbands out of the 5 ladies in my quilt club have been bitten and now have Alpha-Gal (allergic to red meat / mammals for the rest of their lives). Its a new and growing disease east of the Mississippi. The ladies are struggling to re-learn how to read labels and what to cook.....So please be on the look out.

I made my first block! I wanted to experiment with this floral fabric I've had for a couple years. It's so busy I decided to pair it with solids. It's still growing on me. I wish I had used lighter solids for the center so the star was more prominent. But I think I'll go with it. I can mix up light and dark ones since I have both colors in my stash. I might even make some alternates with the dark background in the center and the light background around the outside! That would be fun.
And...since I'm a bit on the 'DIY' side...I upsized the block to 16 inches so I could see more of the large scale print!

The star points are part of a fresh lilacs border that I ordered too much of. Have tons left.
Now # 6 is a huge mistake.[ATTACH=CONFIG]582865[/ATTACH]I sewed the leaf on the wrong side and did not notice it until I took the picture. Looks terribly lopsided.

Any plans to do Stars Over Baltimore http://www.piecingthepastquilts.com/ come January 2018? Is anyone buying the kit and or templates? I would like to get the templates but the cost is prohibitive.

I've signed up also. I like the applique work. I also will be working without buying the templates. Looks like they would make it easier, but I'll try making my own templates. Hope someone starts a thread with the new quilt.
