Basketweave Braided Star Block

 I mentioned yesterday 

that the 

Phoenix Modern Quilt Guild

has a Bee going on.

Each month the group 

makes a block for 

one of the members.

Fabric and pattern is

provided by that 

month's host.

 For the upcoming May block

Kirsten (Maniacal Material Girls)

brought her sample

and kits to make the

Basketweave Braided Star Block

 love, love, love this cute

little paper pieced 

log cabin-ish

great way to use up scraps

 block.

and Tutorial 

offered by 

Nydia of ADD Crafter

Nydia shows one block 

with scrappy colors.

And another sample using

solids in one color hues.

Be still my heart!

I have been pawing through 

my scraps and 

dreaming 

about making this quilt.

I like how the finished size

ends up being a nice large

12-inch block.

Now I just wish 

I could sit

at my machine

all day long

 and make

one block after another.
