A Star in July

Well, it's time for another update on the Quilt-A-Long. Before I get to that, though, I just want to thank everyone who checks out my squares and especially those who are leaving me comments! It's so encouraging to see the number of visitors and reading the comments.

Alright, onto the topic at hand...July's Quilt-A-Long square. This month, it's Megan's Star. I had fun picking the fabric and thinking about how I wanted to feature my star fabric. So, in contrast to previous posts, I am a fan of the colors and how they work together this month and less than pleased with my execution. I know, I know, it looks good. I agree (not to be arrogant). However, as anyone who has ventured into creating something will understand, we always see our own flaws. That being said, I really did learn from doing this square. Next time I opt to use this pattern, I won't make the same mistakes -- I'll spend a little more time thinking and maybe I'll remember to center things before I stitich...or cut!

Ah well, enough about that. Here's the square, in all it's glory!
