Amish Star #8

Yesterday I played with an Amish Star by coloring it various ways and discovered this new block.

Today I want to play with the new block.

What Is It? #1

I'm going to explore some of the possibilities of an Amish Star block. But instead of playing with one block at a time I'm going to play with nine.

Instead of creating a block and then finding out what kind of quilt it will make I'm going to try creating a quilt and then discover what block was used to make it.

This is one of the ways I came up with for coloring and Amish Star. (See my 7 August 2010 post.)

When I combine 4 of them rotated I get this new block.

I want to experiment with how 6 of these blocks look with sashing between them.

What if I color this Amish Star block several different ways to see how color affects pattern?
