WELCOME !!!! I’m so honored and blessed to have a block in QUILTMAKER’S 100 BLOCKS VOL 9. Be sure to follow the blog tour this week April 28 – May 2, and see what the many block designers have created for you!
Here is CHERRY STARBURST. Block #874 in Vol #9. I LOVE (!) designing sampler blocks. When I worked at a quilt shop, I taught many sampler block classes and have been a block fanatic since.
I am almost finished making this quilt for PRAIRIE QUILT GUILD SHOW in June 2014. This is actually a computer-generated photo. The nearly finished product is even more beautiful!
EXTRA BONUS! With the “stitch and flip” construction, there are these wonderful pieces left, just waiting to make something fab!
I started laying out some of these, playing with a design. I plan to make a small wall hanging for our PRAIRIE QUILT GUILD MINI – AUCTION. Have plenty to make one for myself too.
JUST FOR YOU – leave a comment and be eligible for a drawing for your very own copy of QUILTMAKER 100 BLOCKS VOL 9.
Thank you, and Joyful Stitching to you all!

Nice block and I can’t wait to see what you do with the leftover crumbs.
Your block is beautiful and interesting – looks quite complicated until you see it broken down into doable pieces – then makes you think I could probably do that..
Sure make a lovely quilt – so that would put it on my list of want to do’s.
Congradulations on creating such a pretty block.

What a lovely block and such a pretty name for it! I like the little left over bits that are usable and the idea that you can make an entire mini quilt is very exciting to me. Waste not, want not!

LOVE this block! The motion created when they are put together is awesome. And only two colors really helps me because I tend to be paralyzed by indecision when there are too many choices to make!

I really love how the block plays out in the quilt. And the extra bonus blocks in the 2 for 1
sewing is always fun. thanks!!
I’m a block tester for QM’s 100 Blocks and I was able to test your block. It is a striking block and my husband has requested a full size quilt using it. I think your block will be my 2-color quilt and I will make it in red. I got a giggle about your bonus – I had the same idea! The ‘extra’ pieces are sitting on my design wall waiting for a creation. Thanks for the lovely block. I posted your block on my blog today.
I love two-color blocks and especially the ones like yours where one can flip them around and create secondary designs. Great block.
Beautiful design, and very striking in the rich red and white…I’m sure a lot of quilters are going to be using it!
Very striking in the two colours. Always fun to see the whole quilt too.
Great block! And a “two-fer” to boot! Love it!
I love your block Thanks for sharing
Our block has me wanting to make a two color quilt. It is beautiful.
Hi Debbie, congrats on being in the magazine again. I remember taking a block of the month class from you up on 21st Street many years ago. It was the first time I made an applique block.
Your block is great, and I love that you can make such a neat design with your scraps! Thanks for the chance to win.
Good morning from my couch with coffee in hand, enjoying day one of the tour! Love the friendship star!
Beautiful! and it’s great that you can use the scrap pieces for something else, very economical. they both will be a big hit at the show.
