From very tiny blossoms to a huge (for me, that is) octagon star — all in one weekend! This octagon star will measure 12″ when finished, which is much larger than my norm. The shapes are from yet another new Inklingo collection called the 6″ LeMoyne Star collection. The block isn’t quite finished as I have 8 triangles left to add.
My plan is to make about 7 or 8 blocks with the orange/hot pink and purple fabrics and then another set with blue/purple and green fabrics. With the orange/hot pink, my “neutral” is the purple. With the blue/purple set, the neutral will be the green — I think. The neutral in that second set may change when I start on those blocks. This will be a long-term project as I’ve got to get the baby quilt finished and the FSQS5 quilt finished and on its way too. But I could not resist playing with this design this weekend.
Smudge, half awake.
And Lester, almost sound asleep.

ok now you have done it. I will have to go and get the new LMstar collection. These stars are going to sizzle. I am in Virginia visiting my df. I wonder where the nearest fabric store is?

That is one fantastic block! Such perfect work. The picture of lester reminds me of one of my sons who used to sleep with his eyes open a bit. I think they are afraid they are going to miss something….like dinner!

I went through a time period where I made that block over and over for table centerpieces. It was called Carpenter’s puzzle I think.If it is the same purple in both groups, you might want to use it as the neutral for both to unify the design with the 2 groups together.
