Stars and squares is a Japanese folding method similar to Cathedral Windows, and if I'm not mistaken I believe this technique somehow provides a secondary pattern on the reverse. Anyway, I saw a quilt done using this technique a few years ago and thought - what the heck, for $2 I'll give it a try! The Pin Cushion doll was in a plastic bag with a 50 cent tag. Thinking it MUST be plastic for that price I didn't react quickly when it slipped out of my hand to the floor. CRASH! The dang thing was porcelain!! So, last week I got out the Gorilla glue and did a lousy job gluing her half body back together. Ah well, perhaps it won't show once I get her pin cushion dress made? Wish me luck!TTFN

Congratulations! Claire is so sweet! What an angel! And I've never seen a pincushion top like that.....I think it will be beautiful when you make it up....and I sure that crack won't show. Do share a pic when you make it!
Hello Sada, congratulations on the arrival of your grand niece who looks very comfy and cute. I am a first-time visitor who came across your blog while doing a bit of online surfing and had a good time reading some previous posts. I will tell you that when you get there, you will enjoy retired life, as we do every day!
We visited parts of Ontario last fall and hope to return again.
