    Very nice. Not sure what is wrong with me; I haven't turn on my sewing machine in two days. Must get moving on mine. Yours are lovely :)

    They look great! Chris picked up some brackets today so we're going to try and put my shelves up soon. Maybe I'll be able to get my sewing area ready in time to make one too :)

    Someone left a comment on my blog that the background should be cream. I used white. Is it the light or did you use white too?

    I will answer for her, she did use whit, it's a white fabric with white flowery print. I just went and looked at the original blog post (http://modafabrics.blogspot.com/2011/03/just-one-star.html) asking for blocks and it does say the background should be cream! I hate to say it but it sounds like that person may be right :(

    A LOT of people, both quilt bloggers & those on quilting boards are using white, & it says cream on the blog post but "light tonal" in the pdf instructions. It's a might confusing to say the least, & they're going to end up with a ton of tone on tone white backgrounds. I say, send it in.

    Um, did you mess with the layout/colors again? Everything is purple now?

    Lol, I'm trying a different background. Not this one! Looking for something cute, the site was a bit Pink before and while I like Pink, it was too much I think! Any suggestions to go with our header?
