Elevate your next quilt project with this beautiful star block. It’s a fresh interpretation that seems destined to become a classic.
Give it your own special twist through fabric and color choices. Notice how the block changes depending on value placements. A coloring sheet is provided so you can design your own version.
The block is constructed using paper piecing. You’ll find excellent FPP instructions here.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
