Sister Star Blocks




This is Block 8

As I have told you, my sister and I are doing a Sew Along with just the two of us.
She lives in Ohio and I live in Louisiana.

Only rules are.... we make one star block a week.  Any star, any fabric.

I am using the same  few patterns and changing the blocks slightly by using different fabrics in different places.  

Above are actually the same  two blocks.

We  have now finished 8 Blocks.

Originally we had agreed to 12 blocks but my sisters pattern required 16 blocks. So we have added four more blocks.

Which suits me very well because 12 blocks would not have been enough.  With 16 blocks I can have a square Quilt.  I might want another row down though.  Which would mean I would need to do an extra 4.  I am a wait and see, visual kind of  person so no decision right now.

Also, I might run out of fabric. Yikes!


" I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart;
I will tell of all Your wonders.I will be glad and exult in You;I will sing praise to Your name,  O Most High"
Psalm 9 :1,2
