Our friend Niki Roberts, keeper of the UFO-rphanage , and regular contributor to Planet Patchwork's Quiltopia maillist, has found some free star block patterns out on the net:

Thanks, Niki! And be sure to visit the UFO-rphanage. Lots of great stuff there!

Happy Fourth of July to all our U.S. visitors! And Happy belated Canada Day to those in the northland!
