I cannot believe how quickly December flies by! December 10th already, and to be honest, I have lights on the tree, but no ornaments, and the Thanksgiving quilts are still out. Maybe I need to spend less time working on Christmas quilts and more time on Christmas decorating.... nah!!
It's Day 4 of the Homespun Holiday Quilt-Along and today we're making Poinsettia Star blocks!
These cute little 5" blocks are a variation on a Sawtooth Star, one of my all-time favorite quilt blocks. By substituting a pieced center square with a gold diamond, I was hoping to achieve an abstract poinsettia look. I realize it's a stretch, but I love how the block looks anyway!
Here's the link to today's pattern sheet:
Have fun making your Poinsettia Star Blocks and have a great weekend. Next week we'll be moving on to my favorite blocks of the QAL, can't wait!
