Block #42 - Kind of - Well really 2 somewhat versions

I think that I have made it plain over

the years that piecing is not my first choice.

One of the reason I prefer appliqué is that with

pieced blocks you have to pay too much attention -

you can't just relax and sew.

The top block is the first one I made.

The bottom block is how Carrie designed it.

You can go to Moda's blog and download

the pattern by clicking here.

It's a really neat block and I think I put mine 

together automatically -but wrong- because my way

there is a pieced star in the block.  

We all know how much I love pieced and

appliquéd stars.  

If you want to make the block my way just sew 

the top, bottom and side sections between 

the corner squares in backwards - or upside down.

And speaking of stars -

This is Star Gazing.
