Here are my first 9 Alamo Star blocks with some purplish scraps, and they are cute, cute, cute! I have more blocks cut and ready to use as leader/enders over the next two weeks.
I also started making a few of these scrappy star blocks just for fun. I just used the scraps that were sitting around, and am not sure if I will continue making more of these or not. Bonnie Hunter calls them Maverick Stars - to see the pattern click here.
To see more purple scraps being sewn this week, hop over to the linky party hosted by Angela.

Lover your scrappy stars - Alamo and Maverick!
Is there only 2 weeks left to purple? Yikes, I have yet to truly play with my purple fabrics.
I love both sets of blocks...very pretty! They will make a gorgeous quilt!
Even if I only made scrap quilts and started now...my stash would still outlive me.
I love purple!
Lots of lovely purples.
Such pretty purples there. I love star blocks, and both of yours are fabulous!
Lovely star blocks you've been making. If I look at your purple blocks I really do have to get a move on.
I loved the month of teal scraps, but I admit that purple is my weakness! : )
Fun stars!
Love your purple Alamo stars - that is going to be a wonderful quilt!!! And isn't it fun to sometimes play with a block without having any commitment to "make" something bigger and more complicated? I am continually reminding myself that I can make my hobby as simple and easy - or as hard and complicated - as I choose, it's up to me!
The Alamo Star block is a new one for me. What a great way to use up some scraps. What size are they? Love Bonnie Hunter's Maverick Stars, so fun to make.
Your Alamo Stars are cute. Nice purple colors.
I like your Alamo Stars and your Maverik Stars are nifty. Your ideas to make more Alamo stars as leader/enders is great. PS. I agree they are cute, cute, cute.
great stars, have seen the maverick star on a few quilts and now know how to construct it,, many thanks for the link

Hello,
Can someone help me? I have looked and looked for the pattern to the Alamo Star. I can not find it. I hate to be a baby at 71 years but would someone send me a copy to cut out the stars of give me a good link to the pattern? I tried to make up the pattern but it is a little off and the are not going together very well. Thank you,

The scrap color challenge blocks are always so tempting looking but I am so busy with applique that I never make any.
The star blocks are very good. Make more!
Fun blocks. I love your Almo Star blocks!
Oh, those Alamo stars are so yummy. I know they are dinky...what will you do with them? Will you need a million for a quilt?!!!
The Alamo stars are fabulous (as always).
Love your purple scraps and blocks.
