Celtic Star Gallery
Here are more sample blocks by Scarlett and student blocks from workshops. The block is from the pattern, A Celtic Star is Born. Please be patient as the pictures load, there are a lot of them!
On the left, here's another five point Celtic Star sample block made by Scarlett Rose and it uses two different sizes of bias made of cottons. In the center, this five point star variation has pointed loops and two different widths of bias strips. It is machine buttonhole stitched with contrast thread as is the block for the pattern, A Celtic Star is Born The bias is made of silk dupioni and the background is batik. On the right, the same pointed Celtic Star as the one in the center, done in hand applique. The silver is a cotton/metallic lame, made into fusible bias tape.
