Star BOM # 7

Block 7 on Judy L’s Star BOM quilt went together as easy as could be. Since I’m adding colors as I go (and not following any sort of plan, except to make the blocks jewel-tone scrappy), I did swap one color I thought was going to work, and when I laid it out, I didn’t like it. This quilt is going to be mine, all mine!!! I won’t be weak and give this one away! Here’s a collage of the seven blocks so far. I really need to retake these photos. The background fabric is the same in all the blocks, but you would never know it from looking at these pictures! It is a little golder, closer to the photo in the upper left of the collage:

Gotta go. DH is barbecuing brats outside (OUTSIDE!!!) in November in Minnesota! What a treat. Of course, with the time change, he’s working in the dark…

I was watching “Dancing with the Stars” tonight on TV and I thought of this last Star BOM. It really looks like someone dancing to me. Your blocks are so pretty. I hope to get mine done tomorrow.

I like your darker background with the “bright” stars. I used brights but with a white background. Yours doesn’t seem as starke as mine does. Keep up the good work. It will be beautiful! Of course, I think everyone of our quilts is beautiful. The one I happen to be looking at seems to be my favorite until I look at another one. lol

That’s funny - grilling brats in November in warm weather in the dark. Get the feeling this is not Minnesota? I think there’s a change coming soon. We can’t keep having such nich weather or you will never need to “go south”.
