If the Martha Washington Star quilt block seems a bit familiar, it probably is. The flying geese around the outside are just like a Sawtooth Star quilt block, but the inside is a fun pinwheel.

If you’ve made a regular Sawtooth Star quilt block, this will be easy. The middle square is simply replaced by a smaller sawtooth star block.

I haven’t spent much time in Ohio, but I do like the Ohio star. This quilt block uses quarter-square triangles to make an unusual star block. It’s not only beautiful, it’s also easy to make.

The Algonquin Charm quilt block looks complicated, but if you break it down, it is not difficult to make. It is made with simple shapes and easy piecing.

This quilt block is definitely more than the sum of its parts. It looks complex, but when it is broken down, it is just a lot of half-square triangles.
