    I had so much fun making "Anita's Arrowhead" blocks that I put in a request for Santa for Anita Grossman Soloman's book 'Rotary Cutter Revolution' :) After all the festivities, had a chance to get to some quilting today.

    Here is a table runner in one of my favourite colourways (fall!) using Anita's "XCentric" blocks. I had some strip sets already prepared from another project, so used those instead of striped fabric.

    Anita's blog ...

    The Spinning Strata Star is inspired from all the beautiful ones I saw here on the QB - just used your examples to build my own - likely I didn't find the easiest method, but it did go together pretty well, I'm happy with them :)

    I bought this pattern and keep opening it up and puzzling about just how it goes together. Must just have to begin one step at a time? Any hints? Yours is beautiful.

    The spinning stars are great, especially the second one.

    The Strata Stars ended up 42" tip to tip, the XCentric Block runner is 17" high x 53" long. Kind of odd measurements, I am just playing :)

    Not sure which one you're asking about? I only had the pattern for the XCentric blocks, just went by pix posted here for the spinning strata stars.

    Thanks for your kind comments!

    PS: The last photo (earth tones) fabrics are from Connecting Thread's "Aqua Terra" line.
