Signature Star Blocks for Our Country's 250th Anniversary!

We're creating Signature Star Blocks for one of our quilt panels that Commemorates Our Country's 250th Anniversary next year.  Once these Anniversary quilts have been dedicated, they will be awarded to area Veterans and Service Members to Honor their service and sacrifice for Our Country. 


Signature Star block

 

This is one of the Limited Edition quilt panels we're creating these Signature Star blocks for:


Northcott 250th Anniversary quilt panel

We borrowed one of Lori Holt's criss-cross star blocks, snow-balled it and created a Signature Star Block:

Lori Holt's Criss-Cross Star block

These criss-cross stars are such FUN to 'chain out', and we 'batch them' in groups of 8 and/or 13 blocks - depending on which panel quilt lay-out we have chosen to create.

'Chaining out' the Signature Star units


Signature Star units all ready for assembly:
