Correction
After glancing at my phone this morning to check this blog post, I had this feeling that something about my Ribbon Star didn't look quite right. While computer generating the block, I had turned all the half squares. I like the "new" design, too, but don't let it confuse you. This is the correct block. It really does look like a star. The instructions are correct. Happy Wednesday!
Block #40 - Ribbon Star by Lynne Hagmeier
I can't believe we're on the last round of 13 designers & blocks counting down to 52. I'll have to find something new to look forward to on Wednesdays.Ribbon Star is my last block for the Blockheads II series. I chose this block because it looks difficult, but is simple to piece. The story of my quilting life. With four star points, I deviated from my strict red/tan/navy color scheme for this project and incorporated a little green, too. The fabrics used here are from my new On Meadowlark Pond collection, due in quilt shops next month. Follow my blog for all the new quilts & patterns arriving soon.

Thanks to everyone for following us through another year of Moda Blockheads. I can't wait to see the quilts on Facebook. Check out the other 12 designers' blocks this week.
I LOVE this block! I find it interesting that you chose to put your points together and that makes the block so different! I can hardly wait for your new fabric to get to my LQS.
ReplyDeleteI like the change of the points from the pattern. Was that done by reversing the direction of step 3?
ReplyDeleteYes. I was concerned about getting the fabrics in the right place and totally missed the triangles! Glad you like it both ways.
DeleteI'm with you -- love the turned-around HSTs. Makes a really cool star!
