Teresa, Thanks so much for doing these scrap block tutorials. I am really enjoying them. You are also doing a fabulous job.

Fran

These are great Teresa. I am making notes of each one for the future.
Thanks, Linda

Hi Theresa,
I have been following along with the scrappy blocks and appreciate your tutorials. I have never done the fifth one and am anxious to try.
Thanks! We all appreciate the time you are putting into this project.

Teresa, If I keep my stars kinda bright and TOT, is my background fabric tooooooo busy??????

Not in my opinion, Sharon....what matters most is are you happy with the background?

I agree Sharon even though you didn't ask me. As long as the stars stand out (which yours do), I think it looks great. We are trying to use up scraps right??? If you have to buy something to go with it, it defeats the purpose.

Thanks so much Teresa! Great tutorial & love the blocks.

Sharon, yours looks great. Not too busy for me.
Linda

Sharon, I like it. As long as one fabric is busy and the others calm it works.

Thanks Teresa,
Look at the differnce it makes when you use a light or darker color for the center.
It looks like a different pattern.
I can't make this until after christmas, but I did save the instructions.

this is a wonderful pattern, and I think all the samples are really good...I think there are lots of ways be creative using this pattern. I can see a 'fun' baby quilt as well as one for someone with a special hobby being used in the center.

Here is my version of the same quilt as Teresa posted. This is my DS's quilt. Super easy to do! Rebecca

Rebecca, That's beautiful! I love black and brights.

Rebecca,

That's just STUNNING! Easy to do, really? Looks complex at a glance.

But I would like to take a minute to say a couple of things. While I'm swamped w/ ongoing quilts (& am job hunting too), this design is definately on my mental list of things to do next (or soonish)! It's especially helpful color & designwise to see a number of interpretations of each of these related designs. Inspires so much color thinking for me, I especially appreciate this kind of thread! Thx to all for sharing!

I like this better, heres my latest. I am so happy when other post theirs. Jayne{{!gwi}}

Thank you Teresa for this wonderful class in making scrap blocks. Your instructions are so precise and detailed. I do hope a solution is found to preserve the classes for future reference. You have done such a great job. I am having a hard time just to get samples done of each and it will be the New Year before I can make a whole quilt. Your sample quilts are just stunning and it's hard to decide which one to make, but it is a lot of fun to try new things.

I've made a few more blocks and have found I must be a bit teched in the haid! I'm sewing all those cut off itty bitty triangles together!!!! After all, they ARE scraps!

Here are a couple more variations of this quilt found on Quilterscache.com:

This second one has always been one of my favorites.
Teresa

Teresa,

great instructions :) This is the block I picked for my bday blocks this year--I'm going to direct the Off-kilter quilters to this post. Thank you!

Cheryl

I'm new to this forum and decided to give this block a try. I had previously purchased Pam Bono's Angler 2 at Joanns with a coupon, but hadn't used it as yet. I got it out to do this block with and it really works great. I'm going to put together a Christmas table runner with this and will post a photo once I get it together. Thanks for doing this!

Wow I love that Smokey Mountain quilt too and have seen it before and scrolling through here I thought -- what could possibly be more pretty? THEN I saw Rebecca's bright on black. NICE!!!! Love the border too.

This pattern looks pretty easy too -- would be a great one for a charity quilt where you want to make something really nice but don't have a ton of time for an intricate pattern.
