The Star on Star quilt block is a nine patch design forming two overlapping pinwheels.

The quilt layout illustrated below on the left uses a standard side by side setting of the blocks, separating them with sashing strips for additional colour.

The quilt layout featured on the right sets the blocks on point and also uses sashing strips with a prominent "cornerstone" in the strips for an additional point of interest. The blank blocks and side setting triangles add extra pizzazz to the finished quilt design.
