After posting my design wall yesterday, I couldn’t stand it and worked some more on the feathered star. Here it is this morning.
The only thing left is the center. Unfortunately it is a 6 1/2 inch finished block. I am tempted to just put a plain color in the center. I wanted to do a star but am having trouble deciding on one that finishes at 6 1/2 inches. I can’t find any online patterns since it is such an unusual size. I have been playing on graph paper and think I might try a churn dash variation that finishes at 6 1/2 inches.
More later.

One solution may be to make a smaller star you like and then border it with your greens to bring it to the right size. It looks wonderful so far! Love the colors too!
ReplyDeletehey melinda-
ReplyDeleteanother suggestion would be to draw out the block you want in the size you want and paper piece it...i mean you've already paper pieced that feathered star, what's a couple more seams???
good luck, can't wait to see whatcha do
