Another Feathered Star Update

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.

  1. 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!

    another 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???
