I am not happy with my selection of the light colored fabric, although it really looks darker than the picture shows. I am not sure if I will redo this one with another fabric choice. Like my daughter, Valerie, who remade her block because of her "too light" color choice on block 5, I may decide to remake this later. As a matter of fact, I am most likely going to redo blocks 2, 3, and 4 in more bold colors. My choices have evolved over the period of time since I began.
I just returned from a couple of days away visiting my friend, Laverne, who lives in Athens, TN. Laverne is working on the quiltalong too, and is doing a great job.
We went to the annual quilt show at the McMinn County Living Heritage Museum. We were blown away at the gorgeous quilts there. They had 3 floors of quilt displays. We saw some absolutely beautiful quilts there of every size and type. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take pictures. We stopped at Hobby Lobby afterward and bought fabric for a quilt we want to do later in the year after we finish the Star Quiltalong. Below is a picture of the fabrics I purchased today.
