BLOCKS by SIZE | 16" Quilt Blocks |
Larger quilt blocks offer the incentive that there are less to make to produce your quilt. When time is limited, this size of block is your best friend. A second feature is that you can try a more difficult design as the pieces may be many, but the sizes of the patches are easy to work with. A win-win all around.
Christmas Star Anew
Free Quilt Block Pattern
This quilt block is also called simply Christmas Star, but since I already have another block pattern on this website with this name, I decided not to confuse the technology and add my own addendum to the name. Hence, this block is called Christmas Star Anew.
This beautiful eight patch block is designed using several patches -- all familiar ones to you -- but there are just many of them. So, as a result, I have added it to the Intermediate category of difficulty. Having said that, it is not a difficult block -- but simply needs care and precision in your sewing due to the number of pieces. You will be piecing half square triangles and flying geese patches -- both commonly used patches in oodles of blocks. That's it, other than a few squares thrown in for good measure (tee hee -- I couldn't resist that last bit.)
