2. I love the Wrenly Christmas line from Valori Wells!

3. I'm thinking fall colors such as pumpkin, rust and greens.

4. It could be really cool in black and whites with a pop of one color.

5. You know Sandy Gervais has some great fabrics that would work well with this pattern. Edna V.

6. I will be using some of the Moda Blitzen range hopefully later today to make this block 🙂 I love stars so this looks a fab block to me! 🙂

7. I would love this in Hoffman's 'Juniper Holiday Serenade'

21. I can see the sweet little table with 2 star chairs – if it wasn't cold and snowy out (Christmas, you know!), I'd picture it out on my patio. lol
    I think I'd make this block in all solids and include white and black.

22. I think this already awesome block would be even more awesome in Denyse Schmidt's Chicopee!

94. Is it just me…but Cheer reminds me of sunflowers! Definitely would use gold, browns and indigo with cobalt blues and then embroidery seed packets in the center….for a non-Christmas quilt. But for Christmas…lime, aqua, purples, silver….I love non traditional colors at christmas!
