Several years ago, I took an Electric Quilt class (EQ4) from Patti Anderson at Quilt University. For practice, I’ve decided to revisit a project from that class. The following block was drawn during that class.
When the block is placed in a quilt, the unexpected appears…a star with a pinwheel shaped center, or one could focus on the circles with larger pinwheels that formed:
Playing with symmetry; the circles have been lost:
Similar to the previous quilt, but now the dark pinwheels are more defined:
Fun!

Update: There is a free pdf available for Patti’s Star under the Freebies tab on my header.

I don’t often blocks that are not symetrical, bu tlove seeing what happens with the symmmetry button when I do!

Thanks Katherine! The block doesn’t look like much, but it is a fun surprise discovering what happens with it when playing with it. It’s especially fun when I think I don’t like something and then I find the exception!
