The Star Puzzle Block

The call of the sewing machine did not go unheeded today.


This patchwork block is called the Star Puzzle block, although I have altered the suggested fabric layout a little.  The inspiration for this block came from Quick & Easy Block Tool by  C&T Publishing.  - Block #87

 
This pocket-sized guide features rotary-cutting instructions for 102 traditional quilt blocks in 5 different sizes.   Although these blocks are simple, and I may not necessarily need the cutting and layout instructions, I do enjoy these kind of references, and can be found on my bedside table for late night browsing and inspiration.
