A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I had struggled to find some smaller blocks for my Starry Night quilt, so I have been working on designing some smaller blocks for my quilt. This week’s block is a simple 8 inch block…
You can find the pattern I made here…WQ Starry Night Block 1. It is a simple 40 piece block with no really small pieces (which is the problem I found with shrinking a lot of the more complex patterns).
As a side…when I ran my test block I did not number the pattern, but I promise the attached pattern sheet has numbered pieces…promise.

Very nice! I love the simple design.
I’ve been wanting to make a star with this pattern! Can’t wait to see all these stars together!
How many more do you need before it starts to come together? Very pretty small simple star, by the way. I have new respect for what you’re doing since my single foray into paper piecing….
Kate it does get easier the more paper piecing you do…so I look forward to seeing more of your paper piecing… I must admit that your traditional pieced work is so much more precise and accurate than mine.
Love it! Can’t wait to give it a try!
I like it! You should design more of your own!
Thanks for sharing!
Since you introduced me to paper piecing, I’ve been looking for more challenges. This block will definitely be one of them. I love the color placement!
I love your ScrapBeeLicious blocks that you did for me. I am so glad I have helped bring you over to the paper side.
Your stars are like my octagons, with the big difference that you finish yours and mine just get redone all the time 😉
I finish the blocks but I am slack on finishing the quilt…but 2014 will be different. I am determined to finish some star quilts.
I love how you can use the words “simple” and “40 piece block” in the same sentence! It is lovely! Thanks for sharing the pattern!
I just finished up my first block with this pattern and I am in love. It came together so straight forwardly and lays out beautifully. Thanks so much for the pattern! http://imgur.com/LrgpmCu
I am so glad you have used this pattern. It was one of the first I designed. I love how you used the bright blue and white, it is so striking.
