Star of Luxor

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The colour scheme I chose for the Star of Luxor quilt block was intended to reflect the sky at night. This block was new to me and right away I could see it could be easily simplified. This is a challenging block, but well worth the effort.

If you are a regular visitor to this site, you know that I often make the construction of some of the blocks easier to sew.

For this block, I replaced many of the half square triangles with flying geese units and in some cases, with square in a square patches, which reduces the number of seams and therefore producing less bulk. Lastly, I constructed it as an uneven nine patch rather than in single rows.
