So this week I joined the Oh My Stars! quilt along and I have mostly been making or thinking about making stars:
I started off with the basic sawtooth star in 12″, 8″ and 4″ blocks:
I then had a go at some of the more complicated stars:
I quite like the pinwheel star and I’m already thinking of variations I could do with this.
This is the sparkling sawtooth. I’m not so keen! I think that I might try another and replace the green fabric with the brown and yellow floral. I don’t really like how the square shape really stands out. So right now I’m not sure whether I will include this in the final quilt. I think I’d also make the centre star all from the same fabric. What do you think?
I agree I’m not so sure about the last one but LOVE the first three particularly the pink one. I think its maybe the blue fabric as you suggested which makes the square stand out too much. Can’t wait to see the finished quilt!!
Oh Jesus, I’m seeing stars just thinking about how complicated they must be to make! x
I like the pink one best. To break up the centre square, how would it look if you made the centre a diamond and the next section out four triangles and the outer the star triangles you already have. Does this make sense?
