Lone Star Block - Blue & White Sampler
I have not made the Lone Star block before now, but I had fun making this one using the instructions found on the Hopeful Homemaker, which are just excellent!
I'm very pleased with how it turned out and will use this method again.
I hadn't shared yet that I'm working on another sampler quilt, this time in blue and white, but also a less structure quilt. I discovered this post on Sew Mama Sew that describes a clever way to make a sampler quilt with different sized blocks. I love new ideas and decide to jump right in.
I'm starting with a few large blocks; this one and the Feathered Star block I wrote about in January. I'll continue to share my blocks for the Blue & White Sampler, as they are complete.

La Passacaglia - The Mania Begins
As promised in my previous post in English Paper Piecing, here is the first medallion (or rosette) in my venture into La Passacaglia.
This is also my first time doing any fussy cutting, which seems to be almost a must for this pattern. I fussy cut the center 5-point star, the 10 brown pentagons around, as well as the 5 light gold diamonds, although it's difficult to tell on those. It's definitely the sort of thing that I'll keep to a minimum, as it does add extra time to the process. Plus, the fabric has to lend itself to the purpose.
I'm pleased with the first one here and am well into the second one, which will be larger, consisting of several more "layers" around.
Until, next time!
