Stars on The Beach challenge

I finally finished "my star" block for the challenge set forth by Chilly Willy chic. All the "Wicked Chix" had to create a star block of their choosing with an approve seashell fabric. I chose a batik fabric. The background had to be the "light sand" fabric, no matter what other fabrics you chose to coordinate. This block is paper pieced from Carol Doak's design called "Africa". We each made 7 blocks to give one another. We have yet to see Slicey Dicey chic or Jama Mama chic's blocks. tsk tsk ladies. Salsa chic was first to complete her 12 1/2 inch blocks! The center block will be embroidered with the title "Stars On The Beach
Wicked Chix Challenge 2008" We can assemble them any way we wish, quilting as desired. I can't wait to see the completed quilts and will post pics as they are completed. Happy 4th of July everyone.
