Jacquie, I just love the star puzzle block. It doesn't have near the number of pieces that the first one had. If there are enough people interested, I'll be more than happy to start the swap.

i was looking at stars in general, i do agree the 'puzzle star' does have less blocks and would be less hassle, as it were.
especially if you're making a few!!

'me' thanks for taking the reigns, i thought a star would be nice for 'Christmas' theme,
we could all take votes on a colour scheme, say
red/gold
red/green
blue/silver
etc, etc... or variegated...
whatever...

thanks
love jacquie xxxxx

heres the link for the 'star puzzle'.http://www.quilterscache.com/S/StarPuzz ... Block.html


if there's a few people interested, and a 50/50 choice outcome with the block, do you think the 2 blocks in one quilt (in the same colour way) would look any good?
just a thought, may be a silly thought, i don't know...that's why i'm throwing it out there lol...

Hi -
I like the Christmas Star but I would alter it to have a 4" solid block in the middle and make flying geese for the outside edges. Less seams to match up.

Either one would be fine with me.

teresa, i understand your thinking, are you any good at re-writing patterns, as that's what we would have to do i think...

[mequilter9158]

Would those interested in doing this swap let me know? If there's enough who'd like to join, I'll start a separate discussion. We could do either star, whichever you would like. It'd have to be WOW but we can vote on the colorway. I'd prefer green and red, but let me know what would work for you. Does a deadline of November 1st work with everyone?

[gramajojo]

I think I could do this one. Either star would be ok, but I agree the second one looks easier. Red and green would work for me, also.

i'm opting for 'christmas star' block, the first one, i'm happy with red/green also...
love jacquie xxxxx

btw, i was playing with the 2 patterns of the star blocks on my pc, and if we each received 50/50 of the blocks each, this is what they would look like together... nice huh??
