Blocks for the Saturday sampler

These are the latest blocks for the Saturday Sampler.  I made the one with the friendship star this morning.  I think it is really pretty.

 

Here are a stack of finishing kit blocks.  This was finishing kit no.1.  

I started sewing the blocks for finishing kit no. 2 this morning.  I've got finishing kit no. 3 waiting in the wings.  We have to make over 30 nine patches for that one!  Plus more strip piecing for the settings.  I'm really hoping I can finish this to top status before we begin on the new one in January.
