Two More Feathered Stars & a Design Change

Two more feathered stars are finished for the Radiant Blues wall quilt.


I've made a slight change to the next block. Do you see the difference in piecing between the first block and the second one?


I've modified the pattern. Instead of a square at the point of the edge feathers, there is a triangle. The next two stars will also made with this modification. 

The pattern for Radiant Blues is found in the January/February 2007 issue of Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting magazine and was designed by Marsha McCloskey. I'm foundation paper piecing my feathered stars using the 16" pattern from Threaded Quilting Studio.

    Pretty modification, the corner looks lighter and the star seems more feathered. What's more, the new corner subtly adds a circle in the center. You have found a wonderful alternative to the original block!
    Thank you for sharing these beautiful stars!

    That cool to see such a slight difference make such a big impact - and of course the color changes - both blocks so very pretty!
