Please keep scrolling down for todays linky party. I wanted to get these sampler blocks posted sooner rather than later.
Another quick and simple one, just HST units with a background square. I like the motion though and it would be fun in a kids quilt.
Use your favorite HST method to make 8 HST units. The only other thing you need is a background square. That was easy!
The layout is the tricky part here. Notice that a dark edge touches the center square on all sides and the dark edges touch other dark edges. It is really just a friendship star with HST units replacing background squares in the corners.
Double check the layout by making sure that the diagonal seams run parallel to each other in each rhombus. I am digging up all my old geometry words today!
Now just sew as you would any nine patch. Press the seams toward the center square where there is less bulk. I think this would be cute in a scrappy version with each spur a different color. It could also be made using flip and sew triangles on rectangles of fabric. There would be fewer seams but more wasted fabric.
Movement by simple placement; cute.
