This is the one I started in class and finished at home. Its a simple two fabric design and I wanted to make it a baby quilt for starters, as I make those for the pregnant moms in our church. The fabric is Lewis and Irene fabrics. I show a closeup of the border so you can see the cute mice (not that I think mice are cute in real life). Now to get it quilted and put with my other baby quilts to give out. I find that baby quilts are a great way to try a new pattern out before committing to a much bigger quilt.
Here is my next Hunter's Star pattern. I am going scrappy and making it queen size. This one will be a Christmas gift for my wonderful son-in-law Bobby. I was able to cut out enough pieces to make a 72 x 90 quilt from my stash. I am making 9" finished blocks, using the larger ruler. The only fabric I had to purchase for this project was six different yellows, 1/4yard each. I wanted the yellows to just be yellow and white, and many in my stash had other colors on the fabric. I think I have at least 20 different blues, yellows and white/off whites in these quilt so hopefully it will not be a problem when I start putting the quilt together to keep it scrappy. I do love making these blocks.

So nice you have a group to inspire each other.
That pattern has a lot of possibilities. I'm impressed with all you have managed to complete.
