Design Wall Monday - Shooting Stars

 The first 3 rows of Shooting Stars are made, and I have a good start on the fourth row.


I mentioned that these blocks have an interesting assembly technique.  Looking at the photo on the pattern, I assumed the star block was made with a 4-patch and flying geese.  But then I was confused because the fabric included with the pattern had been a jelly roll.  How was that going to work?


I'm happy to report that the jelly roll works perfectly - because there are NO flying geese and NO 4-patches in this block.  


This block was made using squares and half square triangles - plus a stitch and flip corner on that rectangle.  Very slick process!!


And the green diagonal section in the other block also had a unique process - 2 background pieces sewn on the side of the strip, then squared up on-point.  This is turning into a fun project, and possibly one I will repeat another time with scraps or strips.

It's Monday, so what happening on your design wall?

  1. I can see how you thought there would be flying geese and 4 patches for this block. You are moving right along on this one. How big will it be?

  2. Just as there are more ways to skin a cat -- there are more ways to piece a block!
