click on the image for the pattern, except Rising Sun, bottom right, which has 4 pattern pieces:
1, 2, 3, 4

I have been drawing a lot of stars lately. Some, like the Tone Tone Star and the Chubby Star, were for a quilt block swap I recently participated in. The Arkansas Snowflake, a very common and popular block, was drawn as a replica replacement for a quilt top that was a thrift store find.

After reworking and rearranging some of the patterns over on the sewhooked Paper Pieced Patterns page, I realized my count of star (or, in some cases, star-ish) patterns online was up to six and thought it would be a nice to present them all together.

As for the changes in organization over on sewhooked, you will find the “Miscellaneous” category has been broken up into two new sections:  People, Places and Things & Shapes.  As I create more varieties of patterns, I try to arrange them as logically as possible to make them easier to find.  I hope this will help visitors to sewhooked to find what they’re looking for more easily.

If you make these or any sewhooked crafts, I’d love to see a photo!  Email me or add it to the Friends of sewhooked flickr group.

Happy crafting!
