Star Block


At quilt guild this month, we were asked to make an 8" (finished size) red, white and blue star block to be turned in next month and then all the blocks will be made into a quilt for Quilts of Valor. 

My block is Rising Star from Judy Hopkins' 501 Rotary-Cut Quilt Blocks. I chose the block but then chose to make the star points using the No Waste Flying  Geese method. That made making the parts and putting the block together quite easy. The inner geese units are 1" x 2" finished and the outer geese units are 2" x 4" finished. 

It will be fun to see all the star blocks when our guild next meets.
