One little issue... white-on-white prints and over-60 eyesight combined to fool my eye. It is so easy for me to get a piece turned with the wrong side up. As careful as I thought I was being, this piece had to be removed and re-sewn because the right side faced the back of the block. aaaargh! Here is the culprit here. I'm just grateful it was only one piece. All fixed now.
The block reminded me of a colorful quilt I made some years back for our granddaughter Brooke. It, too, had floating stars. A very easy pattern and fun to make. The fabrics and pattern were in a kit... just had to cut and sew.

Nancy, I know what you mean about eyesight.....the tonal fabric can get turned so easily and it's so hard to tell which side is up........It's going to make a wonderful quilt.......
Brook's quilt is beautiful....I need to do one of these for my granddaughter.....
Have a great day...
OK, so what's my excuse? At 43, I frequently have to pick and resew because I put the fabric the wrong way around! ;D
Beautiful blocks .. beautiful quilt. Lucky granddaughter! Keep on going ... what's an upside down block here and there .. perhaps it could be a new trend -- the 'not perfect' block. Wish I had photographs of my quilts. Lovely to see, Nancy. Take care, Donna
Yep, the floating star is a good group block! You'll have to post pic of the finished quilt! Is it for an auction? Does your quild all participate in quilting it? Or are these blocks that are made and then a person's name is drawn to win??
Hi Nancy. I got a chuckle from your comment today because the battle in our spiritual mind goes on even stronger than our art mind! You are so right!! That little baby foal is just so adorable. Let me know what you name him. I though about it but couldn't come up with anything cute. No doubt he's cute!!!
