Blockheads #41 is from Lisa Bongean and it is named Pinwheel Star. As anyone that has read my blog on a regular basis knows, I love star blocks in quilts. This was an easy block and I am so glad I am doing 12 1/2″ blocks. I think the 6 1/2″ blocks would have driven me over the edge. 🙂 With only seven blocks left I am looking forward to putting this quilt together.
Thanks for visiting with us, and as my aunt would say, “Come back when you can stay longer.”
Hi Peggy,
Ooh, I like this block! As a recent converter to loving star blocks and pinwheels, this is just the perfect combination of both. It’s funny, in your More In Peggy and Sami Quilts posts today it shows your Big Purple Stars quilt which is really pretty too. I’m going to go read about that and stick around a while. ~smile~ Roseanne

I love star blocks, but they all drive me over the edge, no matter what the size. It always takes me a couple of rips and redos to get the precision. Do you have any tips? Your work is so precise and sharp.

Thanks Chela. It is practice. I use the no waste flying geese method of doing the star points. That way I don’t lose my points and don’t waste fabric.

I know I need more practice and patience. I’ve studied the link you sent about the no waste.

I say that about every star block. I have never met a star block that I don’t love.
