Ohio Star Table runner
 

This is the first Star Block I have done and I am officially hooked on Star Blocks now!! <3 Another first for me is something that isn't just plain squares or a Disappearing 4 Patch. I got sew excited to put this on my table I forgot the final pressing!! Oh my! :rolleyes: LOL
Thank you for taking a peak.

I think this is a sawtooth star. You did a great job. There are so many star patterns. I hope you try several of them. They are among my favorites.

Nice colors too.

Well.... We made tons of this block in Quilt camp and everyone called it the Ohio Star.... even the tutorial we worked from called it an Ohio Star. :-/
Not trying to be controversial...I am simply stumped :-|

There are multiple names for most blocks, so don't worry about it. A friend and I have friendly banter over the one I learned as Friendship Star that she calls Texas Star. (Guess where she comes from.) I love your runner, especially the yellow and blue color scheme. Have fun trying lots more stars - you are off to a great start.

Congratulations on trying something new! It turned out great, and I love blue and yellow together.

Pretty table topper.

Nicely done.

Nicely done. You can put any square block inside this star block that does have numerous names.

Adding my 2 cents worth to the pattern, The Ohio Star has 9 squares like the 9 patch. Variable star, for example, has 16 squares.

Very nice.....I love stars.....

It's terrific! Doesn't it feel great to try something new and learn as you go?

Thank you for the very kind responses! The first time I tried this block at quilt camp I was so pleased with myself ....until I measured it out and it was much smaller than the required size!! I had been so careful about that quarter inch seam. I couldn't figure out where I had gone wrong. Another quilter came over to help me asked me what ruler I had used, when I showed her ... It turns out I had used a set of rulers that was different than a traditional ruler. Once I used my own rulers at home the block came out perfect. As I said in my post now I'm hooked on any kind of star block!!
Thank you again!

Very pretty. I like the yellow and blue combination. I'm hooked on stars

Way to go! Those are just gorgeous stars! Oh course, I'm partial to blue with anything!

Very nice and pretty colours! Table runners are great for trying out new techniques/patterns.

Very pretty and I love stars!

Thank you again!! I saw this gorgeous blue fabric online and couldn't resist buying it! Well.. To be truthful I didn't try very hard!! I'm going to make some placemats with the leftover fabric. I'm happy I have enough left to make at least two.

very pretty and in my favorite colors...

really pretty

Love your color choices! I have had this book forever-it has many different star patterns and I use them frequently....

Have fun with your next stars....you can never make too many! :)

Just lovely. I think star patterns are my favourite as they all come out different.

That's a pretty runner and I really like the yellow print. Gotta ask others if you see a face in the bottom photo?

Terrific stars! Great color combo too~

Beautiful table runner. So glad you went out of your comfort zone.

The star patterns are my favorites. There are so many variations it is endless. Your runner is very pretty. I love the blues & yellows together

Thank you so much everyone for the very kind words. Sooo.... Whatever the name is for this block I enjoyed making it very much. LOL

Very nice. Love the colors and the quilting in the center square of each block.

Love blue.....

Very pretty! Colors are gorgeous! And yes I see the face! If you let your eyes relax..it's on the left side of the block!
