This isn't the best picture, but I tried Aunt Eliza's Star. I did 9 of them, and sent the best 4 for BOM lottery. I liked the looks of this block because the center square is whole- not pieced at all. I would probably been a little more successful if it had worked into squares instead of three diagonal pieces. But most of the points are there. The colors remind me of the brown grass and the nice dark gren pines around my house in the fall.

I started a new photobucket account, and gave them a different email address, and they still figured out my facebook and offered to post on it - showing my account. I told photobucket that was not me. We'll see if that works.

Mel - these are stunning! Oh I can't wait to win them!!

What is the name of the 3 blocks made the same. I have seen it but not made it yet. Do you need a special ruler to make the triangle block?

LOL Bampich, huh? You know, Bampish is a takeoff on my first and maiden names, but this would not be the first time the Bish was given a slightly diffeent meaning! I'm so wounded, T. I've been on my best behavior, lately.

Hey Teresa,

It is a block from El's "Still Stripping after All These Years" book....4-patch and Stars quilt. The ruler is called Triangle in a Square. I'll have to say that this was one of the easiest blocks I have ever done. Everything matched up beautifully and there was no un-sewing!
The odd-ball block is from El's Facebook contest pattern called Star Brite. Too much orange for my taste, but my friend loved it...that's why I am including it. Won't hurt my feelings if you want to toss it, though! LOL

I'll try to make it to the PO tomorrow.

Mel
