Detail of Sue B's blocks

This little feathered star quilt is actually square - it's just the
angle of the photo. Sue H is a virtuoso piecer - this block is
notoriously difficult to keep flat and square. Notice those tiny
Ohio star corner stones?

Peggy recently demonstrated how to make a 3D English paper
pieced Christmas star decoration - just 60 diamonds and some
embellishments. Julie has taken up the challenge.
