The Martha Washington Star quilt block lends itself nicely to creating a scrappy quilt to use up all those leftover small pieces in your fabric stash.

The quilt layout shown on the left sets the quilt blocks side by side and as a result, produces a secondary star where one block meets the next. The quilt layout on the right sets the blocks on point and separates the blocks with sashing strips. Side and corner triangles with this type of block setting allows for additional colour to jazz up the end design.
