Grandmother's Choice - Block 6

Grandmother's Choice Block 6

Aunt Eliza's Star

This was a great block for both palettes. I think it worked great for the symmetry block and also for the shibori fabrics. In both I opted for movement behind the star elements.

Here's the layout and templates that I used.

There are only 4 fabrics and that one on the right did most of the heavy lifting.

You can get directions for making this block on Barbara Brackman's blog and you can see the other blocks in the Flickr group.

Vicki, I absolutely ADORE what you're doing with these blocks. The Shibori ones are interesting, but the symmetry blocks are just amazing. Every week, I can't wait to see what you do next week.

I love the Shiboi block...there is so much movement. It looks like the star is hanging over a swirling whirlpool. There is so much depth to it too.

My vote this week is the symmetrical block. Go ahead and whip up a whole quilt like that block!
