My biggest struggle making this block, was not the piecing, that was rather straight forward. Deciding on what fabric to use was the hard part. I am not entirely sure if the three different red fabrics I used really work since they are all the same shade. I think once we're closer to the end of this BOM series I will know if it works or not. For now I will stick to it. Again I used the scraps of the large block to make the 6 inch smaller block.
To see 100's of other BOM others have made go to the flickr group.
I am linking to WIP Wednesdays @ Freshly Pieced.
Happy quilting.

I love your blocks - they look very crisp and lovely!
I think you made really pretty block.
I think your blocks looks great (and I do agree that picking fabrics can be difficult). I like how you did two differnt shades for the background. And with that I think if you used many different reds it would have seemed a bit busy... So in my eyes, you made the right call:)
They look fabulous! Great job!
Your block is very striking - it caught my eye right away. I love the two color background.
This is beautiful! I have to say, I haven't seen much of this color combination before but it works really well!
Gorgeous blocks!!! So fresh and sharp...
I think the colours work really well. I felt the same about this block with the fabric picking. I don't think there really is a dark, medium and light in the tutorial - they all look pretty medium to me but I followed suit. I love some of the more unique interpretations I am seeing with different patterns formed by using different colours rather than different shades. This is the best bit of a sew along, seeing everyone's work!
You did a great job with the fabrics!
Nice star blocks, Marelize! I like the solid backgrounds. Makes the colours in the stars shine. Hmmm, two stars and two tattoos?
No way, that red, blue and gold/yellow is killer together. I love that star block! I just love red and blue together and I think you picked great complimenting/contrasting fabrics!
