This Stunning Shooting Star Block is a Striking Accent
It’s a Beautiful Focal Point in Many Types of Projects!
This stunning block will be a striking accent however it’s used. Decorate a pouch or bag, use it in a small quilt, or make several blocks for a larger project.
The brilliant shooting star with a trailing tail can be given several effects. Choose between 4, 6, 8, or 10 rays in the tail and color them in various ways.
For example, you can piece the tail as a rainbow or give it an ombre look to create a glowing effect. Place the star against a night sky or give the block any color theme you like. It will be beautiful whatever you choose.
The block is created using foundation paper piecing to produce precise results. You’ll find excellent FPP instructions here.
