Today we’re going to sew together an Ohio Star block – maybe you’ve heard of it by a different name like Sawtooth Star, Lone Star – it goes by quite a few names! Usually the star points and center block are the darker colored fabrics but in my example I’ve made the background fabric the dark color and the star points the light.
The Duck Tracks quilt block is an easy pattern and goes together quickly. I've made my sample with a light background but the pattern looks good with a dark background and lighter fabrics for the star design.
Today let's look at the Diamond Star quilt block. There are other blocks out there that go by the same name but this is the one published by Aunt Martha Studios. Traditionally, the block uses three colors plus the background but, once again, I had to add in another color. Let's get started!
Today let's look at the Tulip Lady Fingers quilt block. It's still a little early for tulips in my neck of the woods so this block is a welcome reminder that spring is just around the corner. This traditional block first appeared in the Ladies Art Company publication and is quick and easy.
Today let's look at the Squares and Diamonds quilt block. This block was first published in the Kansas City Star. Pretty easy to sew with just Half Square Triangles, Hourglasses, and a easy partial seam construction center unit.
