Make as many star blocks as you would like.  When you bring them in, please pin a paper to them with your name attached or bag them with your name on the bag.  I will keep track of the number of blocks you turn in.  You will have from now thru the end of February to make your blocks.

The person turning in the MOST blocks will receive a patriotic fabric bundle.
