I've been BUSY around here lately

I found a quilt pattern online that I really liked called "Kaliedoscope" and I just HAD to make it. Only trouble was, it was paper pieced and I haven't done that for a long time. It didn't take long to get back in the swing of things, though, as these photos will show. First is the detail on the lighter of the start, and the secone is the two types of stars that appear when I use a lighter fabric to emphasize them -- one light and one dark. Both are rather distinctive I think, and the truth of the matter is that I'm a lot better quilter than I am photographer. I'll try to get some better pictures when the weather warms up a bit.
