Thanks for all the nice compliments you gals left for me regarding this block. Some of you said you were planning on using this idea for a kids quilt(which is what I'm doing). I wanted to suggest that if you are going to make it, that you pop over to Linda J's at http://catsnqlts2.blogspot.com and see her EQ picture, and maybe by now some of her blocks. She gets ALL the credit for this one...LOL..I just happen to see it late Sunday evening and got excited to make some. It's totally NOT my idea.....and it's possible that Linda has a different cutting and layout method than I used...so. please give her great blog a look-see, she really does make incredible scrap quilts. She's also a whiz at quilt block names and coming up with new ideas...*VBS* What I found with this block is that the pointy parts are a bit more fussy than the four patches, so I am running up all the 4 patches at one marathon sew, and then picking something to be the background of the pointy parts and adding them to 2 of the sides, again as a "one" sew. Actually when I look at the block, you really wouldn't need to use lights in the center..could be 16 scrappy squares that look well together.
