I was so happy to hear about this project! Supporting our troops is something that means alot to me. My son is in the Army and I have adopted his Company and made and sent many care packages and also provided little thank you gifts for the soldiers family members. So, when I heard about "Just One Star" I got busy and my package was mailed last week. My "One Star" turned into 50! God Bless all who serve! Thank you Moda for sponsoring such a worthy cause.

Hoping we get to see a followup to all the stars. How many were received; pics of finished quilts etc. What a great company to do this.

One Star Project - I have made 7 blocks for the project - 6 to honor each of my three grandsons who are in the military. They are brothers and the oldest and youngest are in the Air Force and the middle boy is in the Army. The 7th is for the oldest boy's 7 year old son. I could have sent them 3 weeks ago, but I haven't been able to get a brown pigma pen to sign them. We live in Western New York but are on vacation now in Texas near Houston but have still not found a shop that carries any Pigma pens. Would it be all right if I send the blocks unsigned and have someone "sign" them for me?

Aww I just got a package of small quilt squares for my tiny contribution. That makes me feel good and bad. Good that I could be a part and I love the squares and bad that I didn't do more and I feel so unworthy to receive these when others are giving or have given so much for me and my freedom.

My family is a Marine family with my grandson currently serving. I am extremely happy to send my star blocks. We need to thank all of our military personnel for the great job they do.

48 blocks going in the mail tomorrow!

Brown pigma pens are available at Joann's, Michael's etc. Made and signed my block. Will put it in the mail today.

Loved this project. It pulled at my heartstrings.I have a daughter and son-in-law serving in the army. They are stationed in NC at Fort Bragg. They have had many friends come home wounded and seen the pain it causes both the soldier and his family. Wondering if something is being done for the other branches of the military?

I'm on QB and see that some people have gotten knowleadgement that you received there blocks and being used, I have sent mine in over a month ago and was wondering were they not used? or used?

Thank you Beth for letting me know where to find a pen. Since we are at my daughter's in Texas, I won't dare try to find a Joann's or Michaels myself. I HATE THIS TRAFFIC. We were going to stop in Michaels Friday, but she forgot and I wasn't going to remind her. She was so wound up trying to get ready for Easter Dinner. They are barbecuing chicken for over 40 people. I haven't ventured out to meet the early crowd yet, but I already sounds like CHAOS. Will probably get a pen tomorrow, sign them in the car and send them right out. I thought Michaels would have them. I know Joann's do, but haven't seen one in our wanderings. Have seen 2 Michaels this week.

Just one more reason to love MODA! <3 As the daughter of a military member, a granddaughter of one, a daughter-in-law to one, a sister to two, a sister-in-law to one, yadda^3...projects like these are near and dear to my heart...

Wonderful Idea! Count my sister and I in, we wil be sending our blocks on 4/27/2011. Wondering will you be posting a pic of quilts that were made? Thanks

Thanks for the acknowledgement and the gift. I love the fact that I was a part of this great cause. Thanks to my favorite fabric company.

Mine was just put in the mail!!! I was so excited to see a project like this! God Bless!

I made 6 blocks - 3 red/3 blue stars. They were put in the mail yesterday - Priority Mail, should be delivered by tomorrow/Thursday. Thanks for the opportunity to touch the lives of those who have given so much. Will look forward to seeing the completed quilts!

Loved this project! My brother-in-law was in the Army and died in the line of duty in Afganastan in March 2010. So, I made a block in his memory and one for my husband's grandfather who served in WWII. I loved making the blocks. They were some of my very first quilt blocks.I sent my blocks in a month ago and never expected to receive anything...and havn't. However, I saw today that others have received acknowledgements. Does everyone get an acknolegement? Are some not being used? Also, like another commenter, I was wondering if there are going to be pictures posted some where of the finished quilts? I'd love to see what was put together.Thank you!

Hi--My quilting circle, "Crafty Quilters," got really excited about this project. We ended up with 13 blocks. The package was mailed on April 23, 2011.So far, we have heard nothing back. Are we supposed to get an acknowledgement that the blocks were received? The ladies and I have been wondering what is happening with the blocks.We'd love to see how all these blocks have been put together.The return address for our package is: Crafty Quilters, June Gladney, in Sacramento, CA.Thanks.

I would love to see photos of some of the finished quilts. My friends and I submitted several blocks...but I suspect Moda received many more than planned for so perhaps they are still working on the assembly.

Is Moda still collecting blocks for this Just One Star Project?

At some point, the directions say to trim the main star block to 8 1/2" by 8 1/2" inches. This cuts off the star points that you've been working hard to make perfectly. Cut these blocks to 9" or even somewhat bigger; you might need to modify a few other directions slightly.
