This block might be a little bit disappointing for you after the wonders of all the other complex blocks. I am posting it rather than just quietly putting it in the quilt, because I think it is a good example of how to use special fabric effectively.
Yes, I have used the Martha Negley fabric in small doses in other blocks, but I really wanted to show off as much of blooms as I could. Perhaps I could have fussy cut a little better, but I wanted to use the fabric in a reasonable way and I liked the off center nature of the fabric in the large square.
I can always make others in the 8″ size, if I want to use more of different sections of the fabric. Here’s the Basic Star pattern.
Also, take a look at the original Quilt-a-long instructions. You can see all the posts on this topic by searching the tag “Star Sampler.”
This may be my favorite of the blocks you’ve shown. Love Martha Negley fabrics! I have a small stack tucked away that you’ve made me want to dig in to.
Pink Chalk fabrics is having a sale on some Martha Negley fabrics. Go get some!
