A Diversion
 

I still have 25 block or so to go on this king size quilt, http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...s-t262833.html ...and I need diversion. I was reading the tuts on the board and found a couple to inspire me. I made the first one which consisted of a hex over a focus fabric. It sort of reminded me of English paper piecing without the paper lol. I think it's one From Fred?

Then I saw another block and just had to do something like it. This is a 22 inch block. I don't know what to call it but I think I might make 3 more...

very nice!!!

Wow. Both are nice, but that star is just stunning!

nice!! You picked a couple of good ones!

Isn't it fun to get diverted every once in a while. You picked some beauties for your diversion.

The star is from the Dusty Miller block in Block Base or you can find it on the web. I pulled the block into EQ, and enlarged the block to 22 inches. Then I edited out all the parts except the one wedge with the tri's, made the circle in the middle into a diamond and made that wedge in a pp. I made four without corners and four with corners. Depending on the fabric used, you can get all kinds of effects.

your blocks are so pretty. they would make nice table toppers.

Both are beautiful!

Both are neat but the star is STUNNING!! I enjoy playing with Hexes but haven't tried this technique yet.

That star block is gorgeous. Love the colors. Makes a bold statement.
