Welcomes to the launch of another Paper Piecing Monday adventure. After a little break I found myself back making paper pieced stars… surprise! This time I am focusing on simpler 8 inch stars. First up is…
….a fun, simple fun 8 inch twisting star. I love the four piece structure for this block… it is easy to make and align the pieces and the pattern only uses 28 pieces of fabric!…
I will be revisiting this type of star again I am sure… but to start you can find the free pattern here (with numbered pieces I promise) …Twisting Star block.
Just for fun I also made one of my previous 8 inch stars…
I did this pattern as part of my Starry Night quilt and I thought it was good one to play with in this colour scheme too. The pattern can be found here…WQ Starry Night Block 1.
I am currently playing with a couple of new star designs and having a blast. More next week…
Love these stars ~ especially the Starry Night block ~ thanks ever so much for the pattern! Love your fabric choices!
The twisted star pattern uses “only” 28 pieces of fabric?! I know they’re not big pieces, but my stash isn’t big enough to get the wonderful effects you do with the various shades of colour. You make beautiful quilts.
I’m impressed with your stars. Thanks so much for the patterns, too.
Love the starry night block in greens!
Please, please keep sharing the star patterns. My next big project is a starry nights quilt!
I love it in greens – you have such a great selection!
Beautiful! I second the comment about the greens – great shades!
I love the color scheme.
Love the patterns and the Carolyn Friedlander fabrics!!!
I’m with Suzanna – 28 doesn’t sound like ‘only’ to me. Might give the other star a try though as paper piecing is on my list.
After spending Saturday paper piecing for our modern guild’s QuiltCon quilt I can really appreciate all the work you put into these blocks and all those little pieces.
