Can you believe it?  Quilt number 17!  For those of you new to my blog, I am quilting 200 quilts from my favorite quilt book, "Around the Block with Judy Hopkins".  In this book Judy gives you 200 quilt blocks each coming in six different sizes.  I am making 200 quilts, one for each block.  I am doing this so you can see what each quilt block looks like when you put at least four blocks together.  Most of the time you will get a new design when these four blocks are put together.  Many times there are several ways of putting the blocks together.  I am usually just showing you one way. 
Quilt Block number seventeen is called Army Star.  Take a look:

As you can see above, I have two different blocks.  The white around the star is how the block is shown in the book.  I was thinking it was too much white so I changed it.  When you change it, it no longer looks like a star.  I decided to go with option two.  Check it out:

I made quilt block number seventeen into a Lovie Lap Quilt with pockets.  On to number 18.
