Yellow scrappy blocks

My 12" block swap partner this month is Karen. We are members of QBSA and every month we get a new partner and swap a block of their choice with them. Karen wanted an Ohio Star with cream background, coloured points with a contrast centre. 
As it is a Yellow month over at Soscrappy I thought that's what I would do.

Then I thought I would do this Framed 4 Patch block from the RSC sampler page that Angela puts up the patterns for.
I continued in my mellow yellow mood and sewed some wonky stars.
I do not have a lot of yellow so thanks to the girls in my Monday group for helping me out.
The funny thing is they thought I was mad using up my little pieces of scraps now they are doing it too. Here are my stars.

Good timing, the swap request and Val's theme! Love the colors in the ohio Star block. All the blocks are great uses of scraps (Check out Oh Scrap!)
