Block 24~ Morning Star and MAQ
Can you believe we are on block 24! Halfway there! Yeah!
This week's block is Morning Star. Morning Star, appeared in the Ladies Art Company in 1897. This is one of those blocks that has been known by several names. In that same year, 1897, it appeared in the Hearth and Home, called Virginia. Then, in 1934, Nancy Cabot was credit in the Chicago Tribune, and the block was called Rosebud. I think both Morning Star and Rosebud are perfect names for this block.
If you have master Flying Geese, this unit comes together easily. This is a fabulous block to showcase those large floral prints in the center. This simple block can be extremely striking with the right contrast between the band and the star.
If you've been following along, I know the last few weeks have been pretty challenging blocks, this week is much simpler. I know I will be seeing many of you over the next few weeks at either MAQ, Quilt Odyssey or Maine Quilts, so I wanted to make sure these next few week…
