Star Wars?

Not really, but I have been making stars. I got the pattern on line, but I can't remember where I got it. It's pretty simple so far. You stack all the fabrics and cut them all at once, then shift them around and "Voila!"....Stars. They were only 9.5" and I wanted the quilt a bit bigger, so I'm adding a frame to each block. The pattern only called for 12 blocks. Whatcha think?

I'm having an Amaryllis growing contest with my friend, Patti. I'm way ahead currently. I really don't know why. She planted hers three days before I remembered I was suppose to do it. The only difference I can think of is that I soaked the roots of mine before I planted it. The roots were all wrapped around the bulb and didn't want to go down in the dirt until I soaked them. It's a bit over 11 inches tall today. Loser buys the other lunch. Patti informed me a while back that she was going to win and she'd like lunch at a little place in Hawaii! Ha! I'm gonna let her off easy and just do Red Lobster or Lone Star. See how nice I am?
AmandaJean of Crazy Mom Quilts recommended a particular white cotton fabric that she loves from Joann's so I got myself some and am trying it out. I really like it. I am just making this up as I go. Using up scraps, but I think it might turn out cute. Time will tell......

I'm pretty excited about my first Quilt Retreat with my peeps. See that in my side bar?
Over there--->....on the right side? Yep, I'm going on my first retreat with some very Prolific Quilters. I really don't know how I ended up in a group that even uses the word prolific, but they are great and I'm really looking forward to a real 3D, live and in person meeting in April. Wooohooooo! Any and all suggestions about "retreating" would be appreciated. Jen put together a great list of things, ideas, suggestions. I have three other friends from my church who are joining us. I can barely stand the waiting now...... Oh...I also made another Bow Tie Tote bag. The bigger one. It's a suprise for someone, so I'm not adding a pic yet.
I suppose since Garry has the tv cranked up with PS3 Need For Speed racing game, I'll be moving back to the sewing room now. I can only take the noise for so long before I start asking myself if his life insurance is paid up. Ughhhhh! He loves it though so.... I'm off......
Later......
