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!
ReplyDeleteIs 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!
ReplyDeleteEven if I only made scrap quilts and started now...my stash would still outlive me.
ReplyDeleteI love purple!
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely purples.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty purples there. I love star blocks, and both of yours are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLovely star blocks you've been making. If I look at your purple blocks I really do have to get a move on.
ReplyDeleteI loved the month of teal scraps, but I admit that purple is my weakness! : )
ReplyDeleteFun 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!
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteYour Alamo Stars are cute. Nice purple colors.
ReplyDeleteI 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.

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteCan 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.
ReplyDeleteThe star blocks are very good. Make more!
Fun blocks. I love your Almo Star blocks!
ReplyDeleteOh, 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?!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Alamo stars are fabulous (as always).
ReplyDeleteLove your purple scraps and blocks.
