The first picture is before top stitching.
The second picture shows the block after the 3D points have been top stitched down into curves. I was surprised at how much fun it was to do this stitching.
Now that the blocks are ready I now need to decide how to set them. My friend Pauline suggested that I post the options and see what you all think. I thought that was an excellent idea. So here are my 3 possibilities.
#1 set straight - side by side
#2 set on point, overlapping - wide (these are just laid out on the folded background fabric - I actually do have enough green fabric :0)
#3 Set on point, overlapping - narrower with the blocks trimmed.
I'm interested to hear your opinions! :0) After taking the pictures I 'm leaning toward #3.Thanks a bunch!
Happy Quilting!!

Now that's some amazing piecing. What beautiful blocks!!! Star Runner is right!
I like option#3
Lovely blocks. I like #2 because I think it shows off the blocks to best advantage of the three.
What gorgeous blocks! I like setting number 2, but on point for sure!
I like option 3.
I have made a quilt in that lovely fabric- Chelsea Boutique from Moda if I recall.
My favorit is 2.

#3 Two is okay, but my eyes go right to the stars in #3. Good job!
Wonderful blocks, #3 is the best, will you add a border also or just bind it. Great work. I got the book Quilts and the Mormon Women, it is very interesting what those women did.
Wow, this is so cool, Janet! I have to say I love #2, but anyone will be fabulous with this gorgeous technique.
amazing! :)
What beautiful blocks! I like the on point setting..it makes every block look more special..and I kind of like the more narrow one..#3.
Oh, that is so pretty. Our guild had the lady that wrote some of those patterns a couple of years ago.
I like number 3.
They look great, I vote for number 3

Beautiful, curvy blocks - I vote for number 3. These look hard to make! Are they?
Love your star blocks! How do you do the 3-D effect? Where could I get the pattern? I also vote for number 3! :) Sandy
