Shadow Star is the UFO I decided to move to the flimsy stage this month. A couple of blocks had been made when I began this project, with the rest of the block parts all cut out. Then it all went back into the project box over a year ago and has been neglected ever since.
Do you ever set something aside so long you don't remember what the plan was? I was thinking there would be 12 blocks with maybe sashing, cornerstones, and a simple border. But luckily I had a book in the project box with a layout marked.
Circle of Nine is a really amazing book, showing ways to lay out sets of 9 blocks in interesting ways. I've used it before, and even had a couple of sketches inside with ideas I had worked on to use different layouts. Now I'm really excited to get this one rolling along again.
There are now 5 completed 12.5" blocks for this project. I need to trim those 2 sets of flying geese units, and then the final 4 blocks can be assembled.
This is the layout I had marked in the book. The red star fabric will be those gold spacers, with the blue used in those corners and for binding.
