Step #3 was posted for the "Oh say can you sew" mystery by Lisa Bongean. I cut all the needed squares, and decided to go with the "controlled" version by using the same neutral fabric in all 4 corners of the star blocks (instead of totally scrappy).
These are the first blocks sewn. I really like the effect of each block having the same neutral corners. I'm using up all the old repro neutrals I have in my stash and think that the more busy prints will add interest to the quilt.Linking up to Design Wall Monday at Judy's

I enjoy your blog. You keep it very positive and focused. I can almost feel the fun and joy you get from your quilting.
Those look really pretty.
I like the varied Neutrals too! Sorry I can't start any more Sew-Alongs. I NEED a Finish.
Though I love a scrappy quilt, I think it is nice to have something a little bit uniform, like your four matching corners in each block. Just gives a bit more cohesiveness to the whole, IMHO. Nice blocks.
I really love your blocks. Can't wait to see the finished quilt. Hugs
These stars are so pretty and classic.
Ooh, a sew-along I missed finding out about. Maybe next time. I look forward to watching your progress.
You find the best mysteries!
Oh, Kathy, you Oh Say CAn You SEw quilt is looking fabulous. It is so fun to see a different color choice. Fabulous!!!
I'm collecting those mystery steps to see how it all turns out before I start cutting and sewing. Yes, I'm a lurker, but I've been disappointed so often in the past that I've learned to wait and see if I like the end result. I do like your blocks, though!
Love the Stars!!!
