After a relaxing week off I am slowly getting back into the swing of quilting again…very slowly.  For this week’s paper piecing Monday I decided to do another Carol Doak star.

I do love how this blocks look all fractured and broken but really beautiful at the same time.   For this star I used the Washington Star pattern from my trusty copy of  “50 Fabulous Paper Pieced Stars”. 

This block, and it’s 64 pieces was a real scrap buster.  I did not cut one piece of fabric to make this block and just used bits and pieces from my scrap bin.   This process made me realise I have way to many little bits of fabric….sorting thru my scrap bins is now on my “Things to Do in 2014” list.
