I could have finished half a quilt in the time it took me to finish this block. There were templates to print, fabric to select and lots of seam matching. Imagination really plays a part in the creation of a block like this. There's just no way to know how patterns and color combinations will come together until the last stitch is in. Overall, I'm happy with this block and I think it works well with its friends. P.S I think it looks better in person.
I find my iPad invaluable when it comes to following patterns or tutorials online.
The edging on my rosie pillowcase is finished. My friend Cindy thought brown would be the color to go with and I do believe she was right! It enhances the brown polka dots and picks up the scattering of leaves.
The next picture I'm showing you is secret! I'm making a pincushion for each of my quilt retreat buddies, all with a slight variation using the retreat's challenge fabric. This one is for Dotty. Shhhhhh!

Your crochet is pretty and those star blocks!!
Hi Deborah, I found your blog through Claudia's place and am so glad I did. Your quilting is just beautiful -- love the choice of colors and fabrics. I like anything to do with fabrics and sewing, and admire people like you who have such an eye for putting it all together. Welcome to blogging!
They look wonderful! The pincushion is very cute :)
Beautiful blocks, and the time factor made me laugh. Oh don't I know! I see simple stuff and I think, oh I'll do this 36 patch instead... Your retreat sounds like so much fun!
Your star blocks are gorgeous!
Shhhhhh...my lips are sealed.
Your patchwork blocks are so pretty.
