Starry Path
Over the last couple of months I've made a pile of blocks I sewed as leader/enders. To be close to an ailing husband I moved my sewing machine upstairs to the dining room table to be near him should he need attention. He is too sick and weak to do too much on his own right now. My ironing board and cutting mat are still downstairs in my little sewing space so I don't get down often enough to be able to iron and take photos of all my leader/enders.
These blocks are called Starry Path. I have been making them with '30s repro fabrics and old shirts. I was inspired by a vintage quilt and did not know the name of the block. I figured out how to make the blocks and asked visitors to my blog back in October to name the block.
I'm aiming for 35 blocks and now have 10.
And sew on...

I am so sorry that your husband is ill! I pray that the two of you will still be filled with warm blessings this Christmas! :)
That is an interesting block and I think your fabric choices are good for it. I hope the hum of the machine soothes your husband as much as it does for you.
Well done with the Starry Path blocks. Sending prayers that things look up real soon at your place. Take care. ;^)
This is a block that looks better and better when you back away from the cluster to see the overall pattern which is very sparkly. I am praying you will have a calm, restful Christmas that you both can rest and relax in.
These are beautiful blocks and I love your soft color choices. I've never seen this design before though. It's very interesting...
I hope your husband does well this holiday season, and you too!
I googled the block and none seen as brilliant as yours. When I look at yours I see 3 full pinwheels with an end cap at the ends. I don’t see the same online. It’s just not as apparent as yours.
Would you be willing to share cutting instructions for your blocks. I volunteer to make lap quilts for veterans in nursing homes in our county/state in patriotic colors. The 12 in blocks would be perfect for a three across and four down.

You always seem to know how to make the best of your time while keeping the most important things as a first priority. It really hurts me to know that your husband is so sick and weak. I feel the pain for both of you. I love seeing your posts as always. My prayers go out to you both.
Oh I love your blocks and fabric choices. May God wrap his arms around you both and have a merry Christmas.
