This week’s block is designed by Jo Morton Quilts and it is called Framed Star. This one was a little tricky with all the flying geese but it is a striking block and well worth it. As always with Blockhead instructions, they were easy to follow.
I think I am finally caught up so I can finish a few unfinished objects (UFO) that are haunting me.
Thanks for visiting with me.
Hi Peggy,
Lovely block and a slightly different palette for you. That star really shines through doesn’t it?! I love how the small purple flower fabric really frames the star so nicely. ~smile~ Roseanne

Thanks Roseanne. I have used the purples a little so I am trying to work more into the blocks so they don’t stick out when all the blocks are finished. All the colors are from the same line but, yes, they do look different. Not so sure they will blend but they have no choice now….they are going in. 🙂

Peggy,
I think they look great – and if they are from the same line you are golden. ~smile~ Roseanne

You have been so industrious doing these two quilt projects at the same time. Love the dusty lavender of this block!

Thanks Kathy. Looking back, I don’t think this was such a good idea but it has been fun and I have a lot of practice with HST and flying geese now.

Maybe that’s what I need, more practice. My HST’s are usually pretty good, but my flying geese are NOT consistent.

I use the No Waste method for flying geese. Makes 4 at a time and they are much quicker and all are the same.

I was just looking for star blocks to add to my Christmas quilt, and I ran across a block similar to this. It is very striking. The flying geese scared me away. I can do make flying geese, but only when I am really in the right frame of mind. 🙂
