The Lori's Star quilt block is actually two blocks in one. An Ohio Star is the centre feature in the block, which is an uneven nine patch design featuring quarter square triangles. This is a wonderful choice for a teaching experience in piecing a block that is a little different than the norm.

By adding blank blocks in a variety of colourways to enlarge the quilt layout, as shown on the left, you add a little extra "pizzazz" to that quilt, with blocks set on point. The quilt layout shown on the right sets the blocks side by side, for a totally different look.
