You may have noticed I like to make four copies of a block
when I get the chance. These blocks are destined to be sewn into at least three
separate quilts, but when I place them together – temporarily – on my design
wall, I catch a glimpse of what a quilt might look like if it was made entirely
of these blocks. In this case, you can see the four red-orange stars that were
the centers of each block, but you can also see a fifth one that only appears
when all four blocks are joined. Between them are four sneaky little green
stars that just showed up like magic. Mind you, I’d never EVER make a one-block
quilt from blocks like these. They’re fun to look at, but they were a royal
pain to piece. None of the points wanted to meet, and they refuse to lie flat. If
I tried joining these blocks, it would just be more of the same.
