One of my Sunday tasks was to finish up that big block from this week's Blockheads post.
This block is 27" finished. It's called Folk Star by Lisa Bongean. There are 72 HSTs in this one, which definitely took me some time. The HSTs were each trimmed to 2" square. After seeing these posted to the Facebook group I found myself wishing I had chosen some different fabrics in the star itself. It's OK as is - but not exciting.
While in red, white, blue mode - I think this is the layout I'm going with for the Rail Fence QOV with the stars added. As I picked up each row and pin (numbered pins) I had to make sure these all turned the correct directions - reds up or pointed right. Not that I'm looking at the photo, this one may be too narrow. Hmmm . . . maybe a long red strip added to the left side, and a blue strip added on the right?
