I've completed 30 Ohio Star blocks. I started with squares cut at 4 3/4 to make the hour glass blocks and used 4 inch squares as the corner and center blocks. Each hourglass block is 11.5 inches unfinished.
The fabric is Moda Flats and I am enjoying the simplicity of the fabric. Reds, greens, grays, light blues and orange. I have put the blocks aside while I try to decide layout.
Should I lay them out in a simple grid?
Perhaps with sashing and with cornerstones?
The other thought is to snowball the corners like I did in this quilt.
What do you think?
I've already decided on borders - inner border of white, middle border which will be a thin strip made from piecing the scraps and an outer border of white.
Happy Stitching!
I love your Ohio Stars! Beautiful....
