The top is done for the QOV sampler I've been working on.
This looks so drab in the photo, but is actually nice and bright in real life. It was another grey overcast morning when I took the photo.
Playing with new block patterns is one of my favorite things to do. This is one I saw on Pinterest, but it was paper pieced and smaller. I decided to try it using the Tri Recs rulers and made it 12.5" so I could use it for a QOV project with other blocks the same size. It would look even better with 4 different fabrics but these were the scraps most handy. I think it was called the Card Trick Star. This could be the beginning of another QOV sampler. It would be an awesome block to make totally scrappy too.
And I got a good start on the Liberty Box project. Pinwheels are something I make often and have rarely used the paper pieced method. But the papers were in the box so I decided to go ahead and use them. 32 pinwheels with 4 pieces each - that's a lot of paper to remove. You know what I'll be doing in front of the TV tonight.
The red/white strip sets for the Liberty Box project were quick to sew. And they'll be quick to cut into the remaining 6.5" sections.

I love your Card Trick Star block. You make the nicest Quilts of Valor and this one is no exception. Great flimsy finish.
Oh I like that new starry block, I have never seen that one before. I think I could do it with my 8" Accuquilt cube companion set but it would be a 16" finished block. It could be the center of a square topper.
The QOV sampler looks great! The wide border is a nice frame. Have a great day!
Thangles do make accurate HSTs, but they are somewhat fiddly.
What a nice Quilt of Valor! I like all the different blocks:)
The sampler came together nicely. You've definitely been moving along with your projects!
