I first saw this star block over at Leehaven about 3 years ago. About two years ago I decided to mini size them and made a block 2.25". Now I freely admit that I am addicted to making them! Still!
This week I made a concentrated effort to cut some batik scraps for a few more stars using green as either the background or the star. These are leader/ender blocks and I put them through the machine between sewing seams of other projects, so no thread is wasted.
I am trying to remember to use more dark backgrounds, but seem to have a problem with that. I'll cut more pieces to sew next week with darker backgrounds!

Awesome Kathy! BTW Is that 2.25" for each part of the 9 patch, or the whole 9 patch?
So darn cute and tiny!!
I love little blocks and these are great!
Kathie
So what size are you cutting the corner squares? They are so small. Well done
Great additions to your tiny Alamo Star collection. Everything tiny is cuter!
Great little blocks!
Ohhhh these are great! Beautiful. You know this is going to be some kinda eye-catching quilting.
Una coleccion de estrellas muy bonitas,
felicitaciones!!!!
Your Alamo Stars are beautiful, and I can't believe how tiny they are!
These stars are beautiful. It's going to be such a gorgeous quilt when you finally put them all together.
Love these - especially the two on the lower left corner ...
I'm like that too. For whatever reason I am just not keen on the darker colours. These Alamo stars are lovely and I think I spotted at least one dark one.
I love these mini stars! A good addiction!!!
Love them. So cute
I never get tired of seeing your sweet Alamo blocks!!! These greens look so happy :)
Very pretty star blocks! I love the fabrics in these!
How many of these little cuties have you made now, Kathy?
being green of course they get my vote, how you manage such tiny blocks is way above me
I love teeny, tiny - when other people make them! I don't think I'd be able to see the piece of fabric that small!
Anyway...awesome stars. What size quilt will you make?
Neat blocks, Kathy! i miss doing the SO Scrappy color this year...
Need to finish up last years...hugs, Julierose
