The Star in Diamond quilt block is a bit of a misnomer (in my view) as I do see diamonds but cannot see any stars. However it is a lovely and simple block to sew.

The quilt layout shown below on the left uses a standard side by side setting of the quilt blocks. This is a quick design to finish up with a simple border treatment.

The quilt layout featured on the right sets the blocks on point. The addition of colourful blank blocks and the side setting triangles increases the size of the quilt and adds some extra pizzazz to the final product.
