Star Gazer

Star Gazer
Quilt of Valor
55 x 67 inches
PineTree Lodge Designs (Whirligigs #218) was used to make Star Gazer. The pattern offers three possible block layouts; thus, a wide variety of tops can be made from the different blocks layouts. The center section of Star Gazer required 12 assorted fat quarters.


I used the BB#1 block and the "B" layout for that block which created a "floating star." Focus on the neutral triangles to see the stretched star.

Update: May 26, 2012

Alycia posted this quilt on her blog today. It should be wrapped around a hero soon.

Star Gazer was presented at a Vet Center in June 2012.

    wow! that doesn't look anything like the pattern. I may have to figure this one out. It looks like the block is very easy. I belong to a group that makes blocks for each other and most of the time the quilts go to charity. This would be an easy block for them to do and any time it is easy lots of blocks are made thus more charity quilts can be made. thanks for sharing this one...
