After putting my blocks up on the design wall last week I really wanted to try to do a different kind of star and this is what I came up with…

I threw together two different patterns from Carol Doak’s book “50 Fabulous Paper Pieced Stars“.  I seriously love how you can mix and match the star patterns and come up with your own concoction.

For this 64 piece star I used one piece of the Montana star and one piece of Ohio.  It is a unusual combination but I kind of like the fractured look the star has.  I think it will go nicely with the other stars made so far.
