All the blocks by Janet Perkins

Denniele Bohannon

And by granddaughter Addie done in her 11th year

And readers are getting finished (or almost finished)

Brenda Douglass Essinger used Denniele's

 ambitious Improved Nine-Patch set

Jeanne Arnieri used the Quilt of Many Stars Set---

quilted, bound and in the dining room.

Ana Maria Fereo used primary colors and a nine-patch set.

Rose's for Dianannie by Meliss Swanson

Meliss did a medallion set in memory of her much missed mother-in-law.

She set each star in the center of a triangular frame to give more design

consistency to the group.

Carrie Berbeck Fala

The Western Star set

Susan Gilbert

Lots of readers in France like Christine Laine

The Orchard Strips Set

Marie Boop

France Aubert

And in Kansas

Nancy Austin Swanwick

She modified the block corners.

Nancy Phillips's is quilted and bound and on its way to a veteran.

As is Robbin Hatchett's

Robin Leftwich's: 11 blocks in the Offset Set

Elsie Ridgely alternated with a four-pointed star block.

Roberta Brunett used seasonal prints and a cheerfully wonky set

for a Christmas quilt.

Waiting for borders....

Laura Chegas

Sonita Carlson
