This week’s designer is Alexia Marcelle Abegg of Ruby Star Society, and her block is called 16-PATCH STAR.

We both took on the LOG CABIN block and just finished a sew along in our FACEBOOK GROUP! OUR BLOCK #10: 16-PATCH STAR (6″ Finished) ……

It is the perfect fabric to use for this bag as it looks like you have pieced the whole bag when in…

This week’s designer is Deb Strain and her block is the classic OHIO STAR. OUR BLOCK #9: OHIO STAR (6″ Finished) …… PIECING INSTRUCTIONS: If you’ve been following along on my MBH5 journey, you know I don’t prefer to piece my QST [hourglass] units as depicted in the Moda Pattern Sheet, as it creates bias along the edges.
