Stars and Dads

I couldn't decide what to do with my blue fabric, so finally I just started making 6" stars and I'm loving it! The plan right now is for 63 of them (7 X 9 blocks) - 25 more to go. I started with mostly blues, but have ventured toward the purple and aqua and have reversed some light/dark background/stars for a little sparkle. Scrap quilts are so much fun - picking out the fabric for each star and seeing the result is like making a tiny quilt.

Here are the wonderful dads of my 4 children - They are great friends and 2 of the best men in the World~ Here is a picture from last night - they thought they both looked dorky, so I didn't put it up :-)
Paul is here visiting from Alaska this week, so we are having an extra special Father's Day today! (Picture below is from last summer in AK)
