Very bold and wild. Not a one of them works for me. And after all that work to make the Lone Star center.
I was just thinking of Kaa and about to break into "trust in meeeeeeee!" LOL! Barbara - you needed to issue a warning to wear sunglasses first! ;) Fireworks indeed!
Delightful! Happy New Year to you!
What amazing stars they are...sets a mind to spinning. Perfect for a celebration of a new year. Thank you!
WOW! Happy New year!!
Love this! Great inspiration for making something that already pops! pop a bit more!
Thanks!
I love the 3D effect that the ones with mitered stripes have. The others, I sort of agree with Suzanne. At least the quilt makers took care to keep stripes from going every which way.
Gail---I'd call that keeping the stripes going one way overcautious. I love the craziness.
