Paper Piecing - Part 2 - New Hampshire Star

Part 2 in a series of Paper Pieced Star Blocks from the book Sensational 9-Patch Stars by Carol Doak.


This is block is called New Hampshire and is block #29 in the above mentioned book.  The block consists of three different foundation designs.  I chose this block for it's dynamic look and used bold fabric placement for the largest point of the star block.


I chose this block for it's dynamic look and used bold fabric placement for the largest point of the star block to create movement.  This block was a little more fiddly to piece but if you adhere to and persevere with the paper piecing process, it is nonetheless accurate.  The 9 patch block comes together with ease; the seams match and the points of the stars are sharp.



Thank you for stopping by,
Rita
