Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks
Quiltmaker 100 Blocks, vol 7 - Block by Faith of Fresh Lemons Quilts
It's always a fun opportunity to submit a block for Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks magazine series. Volume 7 was just released and I'm very excited to have a design included on this round! It will probably come as no surprise to regular readers here that I created a paper pieced star design. I'm nothing if not predictable, right? (You can find my paper piecing tutorial here.)

When I was selecting the fabrics for this star, I was torn. Blocks can always look so different depending on fabric placement. I really wanted to showcase this variety by making another block with the same templates, but using another fabric layout. Over the weekend I created this block.

Same pattern, but the effect is totally different. Cool, right? These blocks have 8 paper pieced components. Here is one quadrant sewn up:

I hope you will check out the magazine at your local craft and bookstore! It's also available as a digital download.
