How about alternating the variable star block with another block that we have learned to make. The 9 Patch. I quite like the effect of this one. The green triangles on the star block create a secondary Sisters choice pattern when placed next to the 9 Patch
Also included below is the Pdf file of instructions for piecing the Variable Star

You can create all sorts of different looks with these stars just by varying the pieces you use in the corner and center units. Below are just a few ideas.
A: Ohio Star with a set of half square triangles made for the center
B:Ohio Star and 4 Patches, creates a checkerboard effect
C: Ohio Star Variation
D:Variable Star with plain background
E: Variable Star with single square at corners
F: Variable Star with four patches

Well that's it for now, I think that's enough don't you :lol: I'ts a bit more than usual but I thought it would be a good idea to cover the quarter square triangles as well as they are made with such a similar method.
Next month, a change of pace, English Paper Piecing and a much smaller file :lol: Untill then Hope you all have a great month :D
