Morris Feathered Star

Roseanne Smith has been working on this feathered star using prints from my William Morris reproduction collection from Moda The Morris Workshop.


She got her pattern from a Marsha McCloskey book. Marsha specializes in these stars with lots of little triangles, a style she calls "Really Hard Blocks That Take a Long Time". The pattern for the star block is in Marsha's book Feathered Star Quilt Blocks I (it's Feathered Star II). The pattern for the whole quilt is in Roseanne's head. She plans two more borders.

You may recall a few months ago we posted a picture of the blocks in progress and an alert blog follower noticed she had a triangle upside down. Roseanne has fixed it. The block picture is really a more accurate color representation of the fabric and the quilt top. But you get the idea.

I am looking forward to the next border. I think it involves lots of little triangles.

Here's a link to Marsha's page with many feathered star blocks, all "Really Hard Blocks That Take a Long Time".
