Aquamarine is the colour of the month for February over at the RSC. I gathered up the Alamo Star blocks with backgrounds that are somewhere between blue and green, and sewed them together in 4 patch arrangements. The colour of the star is not a factor when I'm laying out these blocks, only the background fabric is considered. But when I see them in the photo, I am wishing I spent some time organizing the balance of the warm colours. But hey, it's a scrappy quilt and I am learning to cope with "random"! There were enough stars to make 12 blocks. You can see the 9 purple blocks from last month here. To see more scrappy projects, hop over to SoScrappy.
Oh how I love those stars. And after En Provence, I'm not as intimidated by the peaky/spike units. So hmmm...I notice that there is a circle formed when the stars come together that is just as intriguing as those awesome stars.
Those blocks are going to look fantastic when you get them all together. Great going!

I think the random blocks look just fine. I would not have noticed had you not mentioned it. I went back and looked again. They are good! Perhaps you are looking to closely.
