I'm in a block swap with a small online group. Each month we send directions for a block we want made plus a part of the fabric for making it to whoever is assigned that month. This round we are actually making each person two blocks....normally two of the same pattern but with different fabrics. That person makes the blocks then mails them back to us. At the end of this swap I'll end up with 18 blocks. I love doing this swap cuz its a great way to get a good scrappy look with many fabrics I don't have! The above blocks were made for a gal who is making a redwork quilt. She requested any star blocks but to only use the the red fabric she sent or reds we had with white for the background. In other words...one color. That made it interesting when searching out star patterns. Anyway, the two I decided on look pretty good. Both are from Judy Martin's book called "Knockout Blocks and Sampler Quilts". The one on the left is called "Fiery Star" and the one on the right is called "Virginia Star". I hope she likes them and that they work well with the collection she receives.
