A block that benefits from the use of light, medium, and dark contrasting fabrics for greatest impact. It is also stunning when made with a low contrast collection of fabrics.

Pattern for this block can be downloaded here.

Still using 4 different fabrics, the blues are low contrasting for a subtle effect. Another option is to make it using one star fabric and one background fabric.

When the background fabric is changed to a dark contrast, the effect is dramatic.

This quilt layout uses 4 of the North Star blocks and a thin 1 inch border. Its finished size is 22 inches square.

This week’s vlog shares my finished Halloween Quilt and some handy zippered bags. I include resource link in the vlog description for those wanting to try the zippered bag either with machine embroidery or with traditional sewing methods.
