Leanne, from Devoted Quilter is hosting the Lazy Summer Quilt Camp. She always has fun challenges and this one peeked my interest immediately!!!
Favourite Block
Day 8: Today’s prompt is “Favourite Block.” Oh my … how in the world is one suppose to pick a favourite block? I mean, there are so many.
This is what Leanne said about today’s prompt, “Is there a particular block you find yourself drawn to again and again? One you’ve used for multiple quilts or that you love making when you just need to sew mindlessly?”
I LOVE star blocks … any kind of star block … but some of my favourite are ones that I have in several patterns I’ve written. But I also love pinwheels, 4 patches, 9 patches and the list goes on and on …
I will limit myself to showing you only 3 star quilts!
The first quilt is the very first quilt I made using an Accuquilt. It was so very easy to put together. I’ve been in LOVE with my Accuquilt ever since making this quilt. This quilt also has 4 patches and pinwheels … other favourite blocks!
The 2nd one is “Baby Stars.” I made this for an Island Batik catalogue several years ago.
The 3rd one is a quilt that was published in a magazine. However, most of the blocks are quarter-square triangles with the end result being a star quilt.



Do you like star quilts?

Thank you!!! I was in a bit of a quarter-square-triangle phase and made a few quilts using that block … including a mystery quilt using a layer cake!
